Food & ba



One of several things will happen to you when walking towards a Korean on the sidewalk. If the Korean is a man aged 30-50, he will stare you down mercilessly, and not budge an inch, preferring to crash into you. If the Korean is older than that, they will also crash into you, but they will give you a quick 'who farted?' look and then look away, instead of the stare-down. If the Korean is a young woman, she will clumsily pretend to be on the phone, or nervously look around for another Korean to reassuringly lock eyes with, to guide her through the ordeal of walking past a waygook. As she walks past, she will walk as far away from you as she can, and flinch, waiting for you to lunge at her with your hooks, stunned when you don't. If the Korean is a kid, their jaw will hit the floor, and they will walk into a wall as they stare at you like you have two heads. They will desperately try to remember how to say 'Where are you from?', but they will forget, and if they say anything at all, it will be a quizzical 'Uhhn?!'.
