Most of the Koreans stink. It's their body that has its unwashable smell!! So, everytime I meet or talk with Korean, I keep them in at least 1 meter distance away from me so I don't have to smell this stinky smell. I thought that was only me who had that experiance. But it was not the case and I found out that everyone else who worked with me had that experience. I think its smell comes from what they eat!! I'm not sure though! May be it's kimchi or something. One thing that is very obvious about Koreans is that thier palm is weird!! Every Korean's palms are light yellow colored!! I believe that's where the smell comes from!! So, I try not to shake hands with them!! About Polish it's might even be worse!! They never clean their under arm!! Even if they clean it, this stron gaggin smell is always there!! It's seems to be pecular for only Polish people from Poland. But polish Americans seem to be fine!! Yeah, I’m Mongol and I can also tell who has what kind of smells!!

She arrived in Seoul at her fighting weight - 47 kilos - but ballooned up to 65 kilos within a year because the only thing she was eating was Burger King. Tying that in to the three food group theory, we get: Meat-Whopper patty; Dairy-cheese, milkshake; Alcohol-she gets plenty, and it's all free, courtesy of loser guys. Conclusion: It was probably the greasy french fries that did her in. Anyway, now she's down to about 57 kilos, and her old boyfriend, a GI who had dumped her for a Filipina, is begging her to take him back. Another thing: She, and her Mongolian friends (I'm tempted to say Mongol hor(d)es, but I won't) all have really sharp and pointy incisors, like something out of "The Lost Boys." Natural born predators. Watch out Marmot. I have a lovely Mongolian friend, English name Rosa, who’s been in Seoul for 18 months and works now as a bargirl in Itaewon.

Coincidentally, we make 'em here at home, and while I can feel my arteries getting hard just looking at them, they don't taste half bad. The Marmotess, perhaps strangely enough, doesn't seem to have much of a problemm with Korean food, although upon reading the first comment here, she flew off into a nationalist rage saying, "yeah, we think Korean food stinks, too." Well, at least she isn't sacking cities. Oh, and that mammal may very well have been a marmot. The Mongolian diet consists of three major food groups - meat, dairy products, and alcohol. The Genghis Khan vodka, BTW, I found works wonders for toothaches. And while kalbi-t'ang is authentically Korean, as far as I know, sollongt'ang is a Mongolian contribution to the Korean diet, as is soju, unfortunately. Good luck with that marathon training, Prince Roy.

Mongol wrestler who came to Korea to study sshir?짯m. Lived one floor down from me in this strange place that was/is The International House. He didn't have much money (although beer always seemed to be available in his room), and his diet consisted essentially of kalbi-t'ang. "Ajumma, kogi mani juseyo!" he used to say when ordering... Seems the guy never had enough. As for Polish wodka, they should be fine: the remnants of that Chinggis Khan wodka in my fridge tasted just as good as Zubrowska! I remember this (large!)

My wife is in charge of a day care in Seoul, and a Mongolian 4yr old who was there for a while couldn't eat the food unless it was bulgogi. No fish, not much else either. So her mother would send her with dumplings so greasy they stank all the way over to the next room, and she'd wash it down with milk. My Korean prof went to Mongol and was driven around for weeks in a jeep atop which they kept a dead mamal of some sort, chopping off parts of it to cook as they moved. Gotta wonder. How are those guys going to survive in Iraq? Polish sausage and vodka? Any Mongolians I’ve met in Korea were having a real hard time adjusting to the diet.
