I've been VIOLATED

So.... I consider Seoul to be a very safe city to live in. The crime rate is low, people seem trustworthy, and if anyone tried to mess with me, I'd have a fair fight since a lot of the men (and women) here are short and/or skinny!

But in the past few months, I've felt the most "unsafe" in the classroom... of all places!

And here's why...

Violation #1: When I was facing the whiteboard, a 5 yr old girl put her hands together forming a gun shape and poked me in the butthole and proceed to giggle. I immediated turned around and said "no" because that is about all the Korean she knows. I learned it's called ... the "Ddong-Chim means “Shit needle” ... and that I havent been the only victim of it!

Violation #2: As we were lining up before the bell rang, another 5 yr old kindergarten girl started poking at my boobs and asking “what are??" I sputtered out, "they are woman parts" and evacuated the situation as quick as possible. I've noticed most Korean woman lack a bust size over a "B" cup so several kids have been perked with curiosity over the boob (and not just mine).

Hopefully there is not a 3rd violation anytime soon :)


Here's a picture of the "ddong chim" you can get put on a t-shirt..

Hah! I had a couple of korean exchange students on my soccer team in high school at some point and I think we ran across the Ddong-Chim (I think they called it something else, I can't remember the pronounciation) at some point too! Sort of funny.

Ha ha ha... funny to hear someone else having this experience too. Definitely had it happen a few times in Japan too, but by my junior high girls! Crazy lil kiddos, huh?!
