Hello ladies
Looks like it's just you and me today for TL:DR
because Martina still doesn't have her voice back
So i'm gonna do all the speaking by myself
and unless she uses her hand puppet
which won't really contribute too much in this discussion
and your general out of edification about things in Korea
So today, the question fortunately directed just at me
As shazwales asked what are some issues of being tall in Korea
since I'm so tall what are some things that I deal with
So for you who doesn't know
I'm roughly 6"4 or 195cm in Korea
which whenever I tell people that I'm 195cm like
whoah!
Baek gu sib oh!
Baek gu sib oh!
Yes, I am Baek gu sib oh!
in heights
Actually it comes with a bit funny side story
Around two years ago,
there was small controversy
which one girl on TV show
said that she wouldn't date anybody under 180cm
because she said those are
"LOSERS"
so, when i started telling people that I'm 195cm
they were like
"WINNER~"
Even when we went to Everland which was like an amusement park in Korea
they had the height restrictions
and we even saw 180cm
someone actually penciled in 'loser' below that so
that was kinda funny
Actually, I was too tall to fit on one of the rides
according to the height restrictions
so i actually had to hunch over in order to get on the ride
so that's one of the problems living in Korea
if you are my height
you might not get onto the amusement park rides
Not very safe for people like me
So, now are there a lot of tall guys in Korea?
Well, not that many that I have seen around in my height
Sure, some tall guys exists
I've actually ran into couple that are taller than me
but I quickly depose of their body so nobody will never find them again
Excellent
There can be only one
But another than that
nobody is really my height at all
I pretty much tower everyone that I see clearly
everybody's head here in Korea
So the main issue that living in Korea because of my size is
clearly clothing
I can't find anything here to fit me
shirts, sometimes i can find pants
Shoes, absolutely impossible
because I have size 13feet
which is roughly size 300
So essentially no shirts,
no shoes,
no service
for me
Now you can go to places like Itaewon
and get bigger size of clothing
but that is only for specific style of clothing
which isn't necessary my aesthetic
So mainly if I wanted to go to department stores
or funky Korean stores,
i'm not gonna be able to find any Korean cloth that fit me
Maximum size that goes up to is roughly 110
which I don't know what that means
but it's like 95, 100, 105, 110
110 is the biggest
and according to those standards I'm roughly like
a 120
which they don't make
Well, other issues that I face in Korea
apart from not finding clothes
is practically not fitting in this country
I don't mean in terms of me being weird
I just don't physically fit in lot of places in this country
Korea is a very high population density
and the real estate is very limited
so lot of restaurants can be a little bit cramped
i find myself trying to like
squeeze through doorways
and squeeze around people
trying to fit somewhere
tables sometimes are too small for me
especially floor tables
If I ever have to sit on the ground and cross my legs
I can't get my legs underneath the table whatsoever
Pretty much i have to sit on the side
all like sexy model style
like, Hello~ ladies
This is the only way that I could sit on the floor tables in Korea
One another thing about Korean restaurants is that
lot of them have like dangling light fixtures
which result in me bumping my head against them all of the time
making unpleasant restaurant experience
I had some odd experience on wash rooms as well
because the washrooms are also very cramped
and since my legs are too long
when i'm trying to sit down
and do number 2
my legs won't actually fit against anything
so i have to prompt them up to the wall
my feet dangling
which makes a very awkward sensation when you are trying to crawl one out
Hey, I'm trying to tell the story here
Some toilets you might not be able to poop in
alright? you should remember that tall guys
or tall girls
Pooping might be difficult for you
in public spaces
And there are some great benefits of being tall and big as I am
This odd thing that happens in korea sometimes
which when you are on the subway and it's your stop
and you're trying to get off
some people trying to squeeze on before they actually let you off
And me, personally, I find that annoying
So whenever anybody tries to do that I just puff up like this
and I walk straight and they all just bounce right off me
they actually have to like back paddle because they trying to squeeze pass me
Just learn how to way people
Just learn how to way
and really busy crowded areas
also very easy for me to find Martina
because I could look over to everybody's head
and just see the little blonde girl with pink hair
It's easy
Now, you want a high five?
okay
There's your high five
You're hands are warm
sick
Why is it so warm?
gross. Martina's hand have a heating disorder
It's good for Martina as well when we are in crowded areas
because everybody is bumping off her
she would just walk behind me
and use me as a snow plow
like everybody bounces off me
I'm making it sound just as like I walk though Korea
like push everybody around
but that's not necessary the case
this just means that people try bump into me
will face negative repercussions
I'm like the Dothraki man Warriors
cleaving through crowds of Korean people
Not necessarily true
I don't have cleaver
Also subway has lots of dangling advertisements
which I sometimes have to like
limbo around
so i don't bump my head against to it
sexy limbo
this is how I go through the limbo sizer
just like that
look at that cleavage
So that's it for todays TL:DR
I know it's shorter
It's only because it's the half the team here today
and one obnoxious hand
If there is a question that you want us to answer for next week TL:DR
