Koreans Lost in Swedish Elevator ( 韓國人: 靠杯的瑞典電梯 )

In her "Yoko's Life in Korea (Part 2)", Yoko mentions her few habit changes after 6 years of living in Korea, which include always eating really fast, Kimchi as a daily must, dare to ask directions of passers-by, crossing streets when the traffic light's still red, and talking to her husband with a loud voice. Also, as the drawing above shows, just like the Korean people, she would unconsciously press "CLOSE" button many time, non-stop, upon entering an elevator. Haha, that's indeed very Korean. Well, I wonder how Koreans feel once they are in a Swedish elevator, mind that, many Swedish elevators have no "CLOSE" button :p

Yoko在 "新娘子Yoko的韓國生活(二輯)" (새댁 요코짱의 한국살이- 두 번째 이야기)講到自己在韓國居住6年後的習慣改變,包括跟韓國人一樣飯吃得又快又多、不吃泡菜就不對勁、沒車時看到紅燈也照走(這個我也會,我是絕對堅持行車要無條件禮讓行人的,大馬路例外)、敢跟老公大小聲等。此外,還有一進電梯就不自覺猛按關門鈕不耐煩的按關門鈕這點真的超韓國的,所以他們到了瑞典大概會很靠杯,因為瑞典電梯可沒有關門鈕給他們按 XD
