Yeah, my country has a strong drinking culture as well and you're weird if you don't get wasted.<br />In Korea too I just try to do the same as I did in my hometown: drink something else, catch the festive atmosphere and get along.Dac X Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293064862842657519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-60624960746500459492011-07-07T01:46:18.938-04:002011-07-07T01:46:18.938-04:00is it just any older person that you turn your hea...is it just any older person that you turn your head from? Like only 1-5 years older? Or by older person, do you mean "elder" as in, possibly at least a generation older or close to that?Kaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669175165036576150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-39868813338009168312011-06-13T11:42:30.033-04:002011-06-13T11:42:30.033-04:00painproof,

Having been in Korea for close to three years now, it used to be hard at first to explain that I don't drink, but now I work and hang out with people that don't really drink all that much.<br /><br />"Don't be a hero" is good advice. I think all of us have seen someone have a really bad night because of someone else's encouragement.<br /><br />The line between instigation and hospitality can seem blurry. A lot of road races serve free makgeolli afterwards and people (friends, strangers) sometimes seem genuinely offended if I don't have some, but usually they're just trying to be nice.A Deal Or No Dealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03846366896375330656noreply@blogger.com
