Chah-mae – Korean yellow melons you eat with the seeds
Tangerines in the winter – they are so cheap in the winter
Cheap food delivery – you can’t beat the price, the speed and the taste
Work ethic of people – I’ve never seen so many people who work their butts for $3 (American) an hour…tell me of a place where you see harder working employees in McDonalds.
People will welcome you into their homes literally after meeting you – people are incredibly welcoming of you once they get to know you or when you extend your kindness to them first
The women…we gotta admit Korea has some of the most beautiful (inside & out) women in the world…no need to comment on this one, I think.

If I could read the yellow pages for several hours, I might find out where to get these deliveries that can be dropped at my door. Then, I would need to know how to conversate in Korean and, despite how much Japanese I remember, I still can’t conversate with that language (for the same reason, probably, people outside the US have trouble speaking English–they don’t have readily-available buddies to hang-out with for language practice). I think this site should take those of us who answered the no Korean/no teaching experience ads into account before saying how great it is these services exist.
Maybe we could have a company website and send them an address with the order, if we have time to read all the characters and match them to their English equivalent in our Korean-English/English-Korean dictionaries.
I am not asking Koreans to change for us, but for English-writing newspapers that are supposed to help to give us a hand in using these services instead of talking about them.
