there's nothing like a well timed fart joke!!

March 29th 2007 20:36

it sure is true. there is nothing like a well timed fart joke for the best kind of humour. it is so natural and normal to fart, but when we do it seems so funny! everyone can usually see the lighter side to 'letting one rip'. even the hardest of hard people can even manage a snicker after 'opening their lunch box'.

people's reactions to the body's natural functions can vary greatly and i guess it depends on the many factors that surrounds the fart at the moment. is it a public space? are there many people around? are there people of the opposite sex nearby? what is stink on a scale of 1 to 10? was there a verbal introduction to your 'comment'? was it a squeek? was it a rumble? many, many colours to a fart.....

'nalts' has done all the investigative work for us and put a little social experiment together. this is a real treat to watch....

keep this in mind next time you feel the need to.

random acts of senseless packaging 02

March 22nd 2007 16:38

to further on this post, i have decided that just eating cookies and now drinking coffee at home is just not the go in korea. firstly, you can't get real coffee, so you have to buy instant shit. secondly, the only instant i can find comes with milk and sugar already addedd. and thirdly the packaging is again ridiculous!

again, it all starts with a box...

really bad package shit south korean coffee

and ends in a whole rubbish and crap coffee!

i give up! beer and soju for this one from now on!

random acts of senseless packaging

March 19th 2007 15:59

everything in korea semms to be individually portioned, proudly wrapped in cling film or simply in a packet that is in a packet that is in a packet that is probably stored in a box, that has been transported to the shop in an even bigger box. but the peole here are completely happy about this and seem to look at you weird when you bring a cloth bag with you to do the shopping. 'What? no plastic bag with you goods?' and a look of sheer disgust.

this got me thinking about the rubbish problem that is ever present here. from the corners that look like they haven't been cleaned for a decade, to the few bins that do exhist that are always over flowing, through to the source of the problem. then i looked in my cupboard and realised i am contributing to this.

look at what one goes through to get a chocolate cookie:

the freshly opened box

it all starts with one box:

then this

and ends up being 1 box and six individual wrappers! for six cookies! that's a bit overkill yeah? especially considering where it all ends up. but the worst part is that i haven't been able to find an alternative way to eat chocolate cookies! moral deli larma...

post doha 03

January 14th 2007 05:10

as the last installment on comparing eastern to western cultures, specifically doha to melbourne, i thought i would write on the difference between relaxing and passing time in the two.

there is not a whole lot to do in doha for recreation. in total, i would say approximately three main pass times - shopping in the souq, quad biking in the desert, or four wheel driving safari in the desert
