Oh, Korea...
Since I am moving to Canada, I will have extra toilet paper when I leave. Because of this, I decided to take some to work and use it up there. In a moment of inspiration the university decided that not putting TP in the bathroom stalls would be a great way to save money. So I figured that I would take some, leave it in the stall and since all the foreign teachers have their offices on the same floor, we could all use it (well, all the men at least). Today when I went there to actually use it, it was gone. Wait....what? WHO STEALS TOILET PAPER?! I doubt it was any of the other teachers since I have gone in there before and others have left paper in there, and everyone bitches about not having TP in the stalls. My suspicion is that it was the cleaning lady. She does a shitty job cleaning and sleeps most of the day in the teachers' lounge, but even if she did it my question is why? Are her wages THAT low? No way this would happen in the Great White North. Now I will have to bring toilet paper from home, keep it in my office and carry it back and forth to the bathroom. I don't know how the women do it.
This is the same country that rarely has soap in the bathroom, that never has hot water in public bathrooms and that has a trash can in the stall, where you are supposed to put the used paper in (yes, I know many, maybe most, Asian countries do this and I think in is disgusting in those countries too). This is especially bizarre to me given that toilet paper is designed to be flushed. I like living here but sometimes, sometimes...
Korea, you're killing me here.
And if you are wondering why I have posted twice in the same week it is because I have a lot of work to do and since my apartment is already clean, I am running out of ways to procrastinate.
