3.  I got bowed to by a monk last night when I fell down from dizziness after spinning around to take a video.

Is needing glasses a requirement to be a Korean riot cop? Or is it just part of the uniform? ;)

I'm pulling this number off the top of my head, so it could be wrong, but if memory serves, somewhere around 75% of Koreans need glasses or contacts. It comes from a lack of exposure to sun and a chronic vitamin D deficiency that results from it. 82% (that number I DO remember) of Korean women have dangerously low vitamin D levels.
