Korean logic....

So I have a few minutes of a break today, and I had a very interesting conversation with a co-worker. I just wanted to post this, because it still confuses me to a certain degree...

We had just come into the building from being outside on the walk to school, and it is freezing outside mind you, and my co-worker opens the window when we come in the teacher room to warm up....here is the conversation that followed...

Ali: "Oh, you don't have to open the window."

Co-worker: "No it is okay, you just came in you must be hot." (Why?)

Ali: But it is so cold outside.

Co-worker: Yes, but it is hot in here. ( really?)

Ali: well, the heater is on....

Co-worker: Yes, because it is cold outside.... (True!)

Ali: Why not just turn off the heater for a while?

Co-worker: *Confused look* " Because It is cold outside" (uh huh?)

Ali :"Ohhh ok" *confused look* (?!?!?!?!)



yes... I must be the wierd one..... Koreans also think if you sleep in a room with the doors and windows closed and have a fan running, you will die.... not sure I can explain that either.

Off to go sit next to the heater before my next class!
