weird things about Korea

today teacher taught about moving and house warming.

"do you have any special or specific gifts for the house owner?" teacher asked.

*all of us shakes head shakes head*

"well, for us Koreans, we tend to give washing powder or matches"

"what!?"

*all of us in confused looks*

"well, when you put washing powders and water, it will produce a lot of bubble foams right? so, we wish their money would be as much as the bubble foam. same goes to the fire matches. although the fire matches are small, but they can produce a lot of fire."

"OH..."

then i thought,

the bubbles would slowly pop pop pop and disappear, isn't it?

and the fire, it'll just ignite for a short time, isn't?

hmm.

weird culture

:O
