I Smell Good
When Korean people get hot and sweaty on the subway, the wreak of kimchi exuding from their pores is quite a formidable scent to most foreign noses. I have heard a rumor that foreigners have a specific scent to Koreans as well. It has been said that when the temperatures start to rise and the foreigners start to sweat, the smell of cheese fills the immediately surrounding air.
I love kimchi and I REALLY love cheese but I don't want to smell like either of them. Both of them are the type of food that if you yourself aren't eating them then the smell can be quite offenssive, even nauseating. That is why I have decided to act as my ancestors before me and mask my body's natural odor with perfumes. I'm not usually the perfume wearing sort but in an effort to maintain a lady-like aroma while living among a population sensitive to my natural cheese fragrance, I have decided to give it a go.
As I sit here tapping away on the computer I get wafts of my perfume as it rises off my neck towards the heavens and I find myself smiling. I'm smiling not only because it smells divine but because it's designer Christian Dior perfume that I got as a teacher's day present from one of my students BABY!!!!! Hell yes, you heard me correctly. I got a present from a parent that I know cost them more than a quarter at the gas station and I actually like it. I feel so swank. I'm clearly too good for this job, you can tell by how good I smell. Hey, everyone! Come see how good I smell!

Hey, something to rate right up there with your mom's frying pan gift. Your discussion about kimchee has made me hungry. I'm thinking that a kimchee and roquefort sandwich would fill me just fine AND make me equally offensive on most of the earth's continents. Now, if I could just borrow some of your Dior smelly, I could run quite a little sociological experiment.

I don't know, I am Korean and I like Kimchee, but my boyfriend says I am getting fat eating. With my big chin. I let him take these pictures to prove that I am not fat. Art photo he calls them but what ddo you thing.
