Opening Questions From Koreans

When Koreans meet you, they want to ask you lots of personal questions. This can be strange at first, but they you realize it's just what they do. Some of the personal questions are: how old are you? Are you married? What is your blood type?

Blood type. Okay, so apparently in Korea they have this belief that blood type reveals much about a persons personality traits. It's a kind of Korean horoscope thing. It was explained to me, I'm not sure about it.

Other strange Korean things. You are 1 year old when you're born. You turn another year old when you reach January 1st. So, right now instead of being 27 I'm 29 in Korean years. How crazy is that? At this rate I'll qualify for my AARP card any day now!!!
