The Other Angle

My Korean student cannot understand:

1. Why Singaporeans like Milo
2. Worse, why Singaporeans drink Milo with Big Mac. he thinks it's disgusting.
3. Why Singaporeans like half-boiled egg.
4. Why Singaporeans put condensed milk in coffee ( tho that made him love Singaporean coffees!)
5. Singaporeans' craze over Bubble Tea
6. Why hot drinks are put in plastic bag for takeaways, especially when Taxi uncles takeaway and hang them so precariously in their taxis. ("Isnt it harder to drink?")

This Singaporean friend of his also cannot understand:

1. Why Koreans don't appreciate Milo but like Hot Chocolate (read: hoto cocolat)
2. Why Koreans can drink hot coffee with cold noodles but not iced milo with Big Mac.
3. Why Koreans can mix raw egg in bibimbab, but cannot tahan half-boiled egg.

Further,
4. Why Koreans have never played Tic-Tac-Toe before. No it is not an isolated case, I further proved it with 3 more of his friends here.
2. Why Koreans pronounce V as B, hence pronouncing "Very Very Strawberry"as .............................. (try it yourself)
3. Why Koreans pronounce F as P and P as F, hence pronouncing Farrer Park as ..............................(fill in the blank yourself )

what amazing exchanges when cultures criss-cross!
