As we've said before, drinking is a big part of the Korean culture. You're expected to drink with your school and it's considered inappropriate to refuse a drink. But one thing they don't find inappropriate is public intoxication. We can't even count the number of times we've seen grown men in business suits passed out drunk in gutters, subways, and even in front of church. So someone created a blog of pictures of these grown people completely passed out in public places.
One Saturday afternoon we were in Itaewon (the foreigner's district) and saw a guy passed out in a stairwell with all his belongings beside him. I quickly took a picture so I could submit it to the blog. Well, months later it finally made it up! So here's my picture from the blog...
And here is a link to the blog. Our picture is posted from the the June pictures.

You seriously think that picture is harmless? That that blog is harmless? The whole point of the blog is to make fun of KOREANS and Korean society through those pictures. You're just another ESL teacher who is contributing to the hate-filled ESL blogosphere in Korea. Thank god that someone created a blog with pictures of passed out foreigners. http://exposedwaygooks.blogspot.com/
