Ask and Tell
When it comes to our bathroom experiences, we have a don’t ask don’t tell policy. People don’t like to talk about their bowel movements and others don’t want to know about them. This is considered embarrassing for the confessor and gross to the listener. In America, it is vital to keep this information to yourself.
In South Korea, it is the exact opposite. In fact, discussing our bathroom experiences is a common topic of conversation between locals. If you ever visit South Korea and a local asks you about your bowel movements, then you can consider yourself to have made it in South Korea. Locals clearly like you because this question is affectionate.
