...Our dog. While the question of machismo is up for debate when comparing the East to the West, it seems almost contradictory to have grown men in uniform, or wielding hammer drills, scream and jump away from a fluffy animal standing at knee height, on a lead, with her tongue hanging stupidly out of her mouth. This happens daily on our walks. Many Korean men in their twenties will throw their girlfriends between themselves and the dog as a shield, while the girl topples around on her eight-inch heels, startled and clinging to him. You may think this is an exaggeration, and you'd really have to see it to believe it. Trust me.
