Wow, I actually didn't know a lot of these things! I definitely relate to the modesty thing as it's the same in Japan, but the rest were fairly new to me and the way you speak about Korean culture is really beautiful. I'll have to spend at least a few years there as well!
I love how much more community oriented I've become too!! The only thing on your list I still haven't changed is the water. I drink soooo much water the ajoummas just laugh at me in the restaurant hanging out by the water thing downing those tiny cups. ;) hehe
Hyojin Lee soooo, same as always for me? *ba-dum-ts* maybe I'll just order twice as much food and sneak one portion under the table... I'm sorry, I get way too excited about food
I remember going to a pretty authentic Korean restaurant here (with some Korean friends) not too long ago and I was kinda shocked by how you had to share everything at first... I was worried about getting sick too :\ but once I got over that it felt pretty nice! The 'community' vibe that Korean culture has is great, makes me feel like I'm not caring enough haha.
Great video! You are always very informative and fun to watch! One request - can you do more random interviews with Koreans? :) Keep up the good work! ;)
ChoNunMigookSaram Which 3 countries would they like to visit someday? Why? ;) What cultural thing do they like about foreigners or westerns in particular? Why? ;) If a foreigner wants to met a Korean while visiting Korea, how should one approach them? Do they like if they are approached to? Speaking about westerns, what is the one thing that they are still curious about? What do they most like about living in Korea? I hope these questions were already not answered in your videos. If they were..sorry! And thanks for replying back to me, you are awesome!
I love your videos, Megan!! I've been saving money for my trip to Korea for along time; I'm hoping to make it there next summer! At first I didn't think it was possible, but I've been following you for almost two years, and I always get motivated by your videos. It's tough, but I know I have to be patient and to keep working towards it. I've come a long way with your help, and I know getting to fulfill my goals will be worth it in the end. Thank you for being an inspiration~
Damn, I wish I could show my legs without a care in this country (UK). I love wearing skirts and dresses but I'm always self-conscious and crazily keep pulling it down every 5 minutes just in case I'm showing too much leg. I think it's because of unwanted male attention being a constant threat so it always feels a bit daring to wear revealing things. Also, about the no water thing, a lot of people are shocked when they hear this but I don't like water HAHA IT'S NASTY, if I drink it, it's by force! I only drink it when I have to (to swallow medication). I just drink tea, juice, squash and smoothies.
OMG thank you for mentioning the table manners thing! I've only been here a month and if what I need isn't in front of me, I just don't get it out of fear of offending my co-workers lol. Now I know that it's okay! This hand feeding stuff is still weird for me though. I was contemplating stocking up on hand sanitizer just this morning!
I think it's good that you've been changing and adapting during your stay in Korea. I'm sure some changes have made life easier for you anyway ;) and it's great that you've picked up on some of the good cultural things like sharing! It's funny the way we change sometimes without realising and later notice big differences in ourselves.
I've never been fond of talking youtubers, usually only look for music. But you've changed me haha you're amazing please keep up the amazing crazy that you are :D
I didn't know sharing was a korean thing that changed you, thats really cool :D I live in california and Ive started to get into the habit of getting my family to share our food with each other especially if its something new, they were hesitant at first but now we share all the time when we go out to eat, more people everywhere should start doing this ^-^
The only thing Ima do is share my thoughts. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH FLAMING HOT CHEETOS COST NOW??!? And especially since they giving everybody 50% more...... Air lol
Yes I know it was a joke. I felt like saying something too. Wasn't it an interesting little fact? Either way I also don't really care as I am just enjoying myself too. wink. smile.
The sharing culture not always works in my opinion. For example, I can't eat pork, but in many cases with my co-workers we go on meetings to pork meat restaurants (kind of a tradition I suppose...), where we order a different dish especially for me. It would be great if only everybody didn't eat from my dish too (in meat-specialized restaurants there are other meals, but since they are not the main "attraction", they usually are just one-person portions, while meat can be ordered in bigger quantities), which results in me eating very little and ending up hungry... And since it's our superiors who order and pay for the food, I can't really ask them to buy me more, you know :P
Ferraro Michela I know what you mean. I'm a picky meat eater- certain kinds of meat just disgust me. So I usually fill my plate up with veggies. Then we start sharing and I end up with a teeny tiny bit. Ah well. Sometimes you just gotta roll with it. :)
Hi Megan!! I love your videos! Can you make one about how you made friends when you first moved to Korea. Especially how you made Korean friends because from what I've seen from other foreigners in Korea, they tend to make friends with other foreigners, and not really socialize a lot with Koreans because of the cultural differences and, obviously, the language barrier.
Haha, I know about your almond story. I didn't realize that people thought it was weird until way later in life since I was raised by Korean parents. Thanks for sharing! I give you some serious props for being so open to experiencing all these changes.
My mother has always brought me up to share things with others no matter what. One day I was in park with friends having a picnic. We brought so much food, so we decided to share it with everyone who was sitting around us, even to those who were homeless/sleeping rough . So remember, sharing is caring.^^
I totally agree with the sharing food thing. I've ended up eating less because of this, but it also made me realize that I don't need to eat as much food. Shared food always tastes better.
These are so great and helpful, I had no idea about the sharing concepts - I think I'd feel so strange if people were just reaching across and grabbing whatever they wanted off my plate if I hadn't been aware that this is more normal. I really loved your insight about the allergies and I think you're right! Isn't it fun to see how much we transform?
That is wonderful that you think that way. the whole world should think that way. This is why I love Korea and the Korean culture. I live in Oregon and I want to visit Korea one day. I've been slowly learning Korean too. And when I go into Korean restaurants they love it that I can speak some Korean.
I love how sharing is such a big thing in Korea,it's so interesting really... And it's good you growing as an individual too hey...keep being awesome Megan!!*winks
Hey Megan, just wanted to tell you I love and appreciate your videos. Everytime I see you have posted a new video I get so excited. Looking forward to all the videos to come!
I really enjoyed this video. You're my inspiration. I thought dreaming of moving to Korea was going to be scary and difficult because what if I don't do things right or what if I don't remember their culture well. For example, sharing. I'll probably forget to share. I don't have a problem with sharing. I share when people ask and even when they don't. Okay lol back to you. Yes your my inspiration, you encourage me and help me learn more about Korea. I really enjoy your videos.
I love your ending. Every time you get ready to say, I will see ya, I do the same motion. It's just so cute! Really, really love your channel and appreciate your videos and the hard work you put into it.
Growing up in Hawaii we would always share our food. But then again we have A LOT of Asian influences here so that's probably why. I like sharing food it makes me happy someone is enjoying eating what I'm eating.
That's cool about the sharing food, it makes sense and should be more common in the states but like you said we grow up with this "mine" mentality and kids have to be forced or threatened to share toys but not food. It's the complete opposite when food is the object, unless you are at a pot luck. So interesting! Thanks for sharing! When you come home to Georgia you have to let us know how you or if you switch back, sort of like code switching but for customs instead of language.
My family has always shared food, so when I'm with someone else it feels weird not to offer atleast a bite to someone else. This means that I'm seen as the really nice friend and alot of my friends have started to offer me bites of their food in return. So no matter where you live its a really cool habit to have.
Haha I can relate to those so well but I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it :D I love the topics you're currently covering! Can't wait for more 😊💓
You actually are a scientist! What u just explained about the allergy is what I learned from my immunology class. It's called the "hygiene hypothesis" and it's a legit thing. Nice Megan! Bringing me back to school when I just got done with the school year and enjoyin my summer. I swear, I have just experienced déjà vu with ur allergy logic 😳
It's weird but even though I'm not Korean (I'm Dutch) I've always had a more Korean mindset and Korean manners before I even knew about their culture at all! xD So I've always been "way too" respectful (according to my friends), "way too" modest, I always thought it wasn't necessary to date because I'm still young and have aaaall the time in the world and I always share everything with my family and friends... Before I knew about the Korean culture I would always feel a little bit weird and different, but now that I'm studying Korean and their culture I'm happy to know this is actually a thing and people (from the other side of the world however) actually act this way hahaha! I finally feel like a normal person! xD Anyway... Nice video! ^^ hahaha
Haha I really love your videos Megan!! Before I started watching your videos I had my heart set on teaching english in Japan but you've inspired me to go to Korea first. I hope to teach english there once I graduate and I would love to meet you if you're still there in 3 years lol. If possible I would love if you could give me a few tips on how to appeal to the students, how to be prepared and even just your experience. I would also love if you could tell me which schools there in Seol or even outside of seol have a good reputation when it comes to handling Foreign Teachers.... Only if you know of course. Thanks! ^_^
i've only seen this video and i kinda like you a lot! and how your present yourself in the video is so cute!! i'm coming to korea in a week and i was so nervous and this video cheer me up. thanks!
I totally agree with the sharing community idea! I dont mind as much to have people take my food, and trust me when I say I used be Joey on friends. JOEY DOESNT SHARE FOOD ya know what i mean? Youre absolutely hilarious on all your videos. Thank gosh i found you!!
Hey Megan :) So recently I heard about the MERS virus that has been going around in Korea, and I was wondering if you could make a video about it. I don't know if it's that serious or not, and want to know what people in Korea think about it I am planning to go to Korea this month but now I'm scared that I'm going to contract this virus haha Love your videos by the way
I also just recently moved to Italy and at first I thought how people came to ask for your food was very rude but now even if it's left with one bite I share
I've noticed a few of these actually, just from watching Korean shows, and from watching other things. I honestly like, that they show less skin though, because I'm American, but I grew up with a older brother who never let me show my skin a lot, or get short clothing. So, I just got used to wearing clothes that show like no skin, or just things that show my arms only, and I always wear pants. And, what you was saying about sharing, I also noticed, that Korean boys, they are so cuddly, and in America we don't see that a lot, like here guys think it's like being gay, to be all touchy with other dudes, but when I watch Kpop groups, like what the boys are like in their dorms, they are very touchy, and cuddly with each other. So, when you said that they don't mind the germs, or sharing the same bowl, or they just cough without covering their mouths, I think it's the same, with the dudes, like they just don't mind sharing germs, or hugging. Which, I find really cool, and it's changed my mind a lot. I have also become more touchy with people I'm around, after watching Korean reality shows, with the idols. And the Korean shows too, and since I've been learning a lot about the Korean culture, I also kind of developed a habit, of bowing to say sorry, or excuse me. Lol, and sometimes I forget that I'm in America, so sometimes I say things in Korea, by accident. Plus, I live in Portland, so here it is very multicultural, so I sometimes see Koreans and I can understand a little what they are saying. And I sometimes reply to them, in my head..
You're too cute Meghan. Is that how you spell your name? I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching your videos. Always so genuine and funny. It's gonna sound cheesy but I mean it 100%. Your videos just brighten my day! =D
My friends and I always share food. The only exception is if it's their main meal or if its like an ice cream cone or a lollipop where its really just meant for one person... but snacks and such always get shared :)
Aww I'm an hour late school problems :( but I've been waiting so AYYE I love your videos and I see you slightly doing a bit if the Sistar touch my body dance while talking about the booty shorts haha
I know you do the FADs but I think it would be fun if you talked about how your style changed (or if it didn't and you just had amazing style to begin with)
Hey Megan! I also "hail" from Atlanta too 😂 I love your videos, especially since I'm interested in living there too .. :) come to Atlanta soon... I have questions lol
The sharing aspect reminds me of high school. In high school you shared EVERYTHING! Even if you had one stick of gum you had to share it with whomever wanted it. Bag of chips....forget about it! About the only thing safe was drinks (backwash!)
Mexico is kinda like that. When we have guest, we start serving them food drinks, or when you go over at someone's place, you bring something, like food, drinks, etc. I'm not everyone is like that but my mom always told be, if you don't plan on sharing, do not take it out.
To be specific the allergies are from having too clean a household and as well as too weathertight...sealed from natural air. Also not being exposed to animals and plants from a young age.
I haven't been a subscriber for long but I love your videos and snapchats! I was wondering if the sharing extends to drinks as well. So if I went to a café with someone would it be okay for me to offer them a try of my drink? Thanks for always sharing!
All positive changes and something all western cultures should change. Who gives a fuck aboot table manners wtf? As long food is not being spat on me and people don't stink I'm fine, and just don't try to reach in a bag of chips when my hand is already in there.
I'll propably have a huge problem with sharing my food because if there's one thing I HATE doing that thing is sharing my food, don't get me wrong I do share with friends and all but it's not often and it's not with 30 people you know haha. Love watching your videos.
I also see them ask for their favorite dishes instead of reaching over people. I guess it depends on which group you are with, if it's family or a group of friends at a restaurant.
I actually share a lot when I'm eating!!!! I feel totally okay with sharing!!! I even ask if anyone wants some if it's a food that can be shared lol I'm not gonna share a hamburger or barbecue wings I just wouldn't bring that to the workplace or event because it's messy!!!!!
I grew up sharing food on the dinner table lol I never knew it was a thing but I get it now :)!!
***** Wengieeee!!! What are you doing here? :D
Wengieeeee
wengieeeee~
Wengie~
Thank p
Wengie
Hey
So many things are similar to Japan! If I made the same video it would be pretty much identical, haha.
so true!!!
Sharla in Japan Yeah that's true! japan has been adopting our culture a lot and so have we XD
Sharla in Japan +ChoNunMigookSaram I was waiting to see if you two bosses would cross paths.
Girl don't you ever take so long to post a video again. I almost filled out a missing person report on you. Lol glad your back
***** sorry about that. Ive filmed so many videos just didnt edit them all yet. thanks for the encouragement :)
I don't think I would ever get used to the "no water" thing, I can barely eat anything without a drink.
Wow, I actually didn't know a lot of these things! I definitely relate to the modesty thing as it's the same in Japan, but the rest were fairly new to me and the way you speak about Korean culture is really beautiful. I'll have to spend at least a few years there as well!
+SakuraKisetsu love ur channel!
I never thought I'd find one of my favorite youtubers here o: !
I love how much more community oriented I've become too!! The only thing on your list I still haven't changed is the water. I drink soooo much water the ajoummas just laugh at me in the restaurant hanging out by the water thing downing those tiny cups. ;) hehe
***** hahaha :) thanks for watching :) I expect to see a nasty jellybean challenge from you guys HAHA
haha you will!! Thanks again for saving those for us for SO LONG!! :p
Omg, you always need to share your food? I ain't about that life though T-T
No u dont!
More than likely, if you are eating with companies. Depends on the dish, too.
I think I'll just never eat in public when I'm in Korea, lol
unFayemous that means you would have almost no social life in Korea. Eating together is a huge part of our culture.
Hyojin Lee soooo, same as always for me? *ba-dum-ts*
maybe I'll just order twice as much food and sneak one portion under the table...
I'm sorry, I get way too excited about food
I loved this! Especially the segment about sharing, it was so positive and reminded of good memories sharing with friends when I was a kid!
I remember going to a pretty authentic Korean restaurant here (with some Korean friends) not too long ago and I was kinda shocked by how you had to share everything at first... I was worried about getting sick too :\ but once I got over that it felt pretty nice! The 'community' vibe that Korean culture has is great, makes me feel like I'm not caring enough haha.
Hi Megan. Love your videos. You are so funny. Just clicked that subscribe
button!
jd davila thanks for subscribing :) I appreciate it much!
ChoNunMigookSaram I have litterally been watching your videos for like 6 hours
I've missed you Megan I feel like i haven't watched your videos in years.
Awesome video!! :)
WhatAboutCasey thanks for coming back. :)
The " touch my body " booty part 😂😂 LOL
Great video! You are always very informative and fun to watch! One request - can you do more random interviews with Koreans? :) Keep up the good work! ;)
Shaenova1 I will. :) What questions do you want me to ask them?
ChoNunMigookSaram Which 3 countries would they like to visit someday? Why? ;)
What cultural thing do they like about foreigners or westerns in particular? Why? ;)
If a foreigner wants to met a Korean while visiting Korea, how should one approach them? Do they like if they are approached to?
Speaking about westerns, what is the one thing that they are still curious about?
What do they most like about living in Korea?
I hope these questions were already not answered in your videos. If they were..sorry! And thanks for replying
back to me, you are awesome!
I was going to wait a couple of years to apply to teaching jobs in Korea but your videos make me want to apply now! I wanna meet you!
I love your videos, Megan!! I've been saving money for my trip to Korea for along time; I'm hoping to make it there next summer!

That’s really sweet. You grew up on UA-cam, and in the nicest way. Congratulations!
OMG thank you for mentioning the table manners thing! I've only been here a month and if what I need isn't in front of me, I just don't get it out of fear of offending my co-workers lol.

The only thing Ima do is share my thoughts. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH FLAMING HOT CHEETOS COST NOW??!? And especially since they giving everybody 50% more...... Air lol
Alize Johnson Actually, it's nitrogen in the bag. Oxygen would spoil the food inside. The More You Know! lol ;)
It was a joke. It doesn't really matter what it is. The fact is they taking Cheetos out the bag. That's it.
tvtoms Air is not only oxygen. Air is made up of many gases....includong nitrogen. The more you know =)
Yes I know it was a joke. I felt like saying something too. Wasn't it an interesting little fact? Either way I also don't really care as I am just enjoying myself too. wink. smile.
MaroonTearLilium
Yep, air is about 22% oxygen, and that's what would spoil the snacks if it wasn't purged from the bag before sealing.
The sharing culture not always works in my opinion. For example, I can't eat pork, but in many cases with my co-workers we go on meetings to pork meat restaurants (kind of a tradition I suppose...), where we order a different dish especially for me.

finally an old-type video! love it!
I love what you said about sharing, thats a great quality.
Love it! Looking forward to the mix of cultures during summer ❤
I really enjoyed this video. You're my inspiration.

Thanks for another great video! You're looking happy and healthy and all that good stuff.
I am always so excited to see your new uploaded videos. Keep making them. Makes me sooo happy!!🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍
I love your ending. Every time you get ready to say, I will see ya, I do the same motion. It's just so cute! Really, really love your channel and appreciate your videos and the hard work you put into it.

안녕 친구! 😂 when you said its leg central I died 😂 that is so riskay!! your too funny Megan! 😆 사랑해
How nice would it be to live in a country that changes you for the better, lucky girl 🌟
That's cool about the sharing food, it makes sense and should be more common in the states but like you said we grow up with this "mine" mentality and kids have to be forced or threatened to share toys but not food.

When you come home to Georgia you have to let us know how you or if you switch back, sort of like code switching but for customs instead of language.
Really trying to get this Korea trip started. Always entertaining videos!
I've learned to be sharing from my bf. Your video makes me think he would love the social/community aspect of Korea.
My family has always shared food, so when I'm with someone else it feels weird not to offer atleast a bite to someone else. This means that I'm seen as the really nice friend and alot of my friends have started to offer me bites of their food in return. So no matter where you live its a really cool habit to have.
Great video! I would really like to see another restaurant food video!
idk why but i just fell out and had to pause the video when she was struggling with the words "tank top"
I really like your funny dramatization with your own self. Keep on doing funny videos, more powers, haha
I'm glad I found your youtube channel. your stuff is great , keep it up guuurrrlll
Awesome. Can't wait for the next. 🙌
Haha I can relate to those so well but I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it :D I love the topics you're currently covering! Can't wait for more 😊💓

Megan you're an amazing human being man. 👌
Hey Megan :)
So recently I heard about the MERS virus that has been going around in Korea, and I was wondering if you could make a video about it. I don't know if it's that serious or not, and want to know what people in Korea think about it
I am planning to go to Korea this month but now I'm scared that I'm going to contract this virus haha
Love your videos by the way
trelly beans same here! i'm going to South Korea next year and after hearing about MERS i'm worried :/
I also just recently moved to Italy and at first I thought how people came to ask for your food was very rude but now even if it's left with one bite I share
I've noticed a few of these actually, just from watching Korean shows, and from watching other things. I honestly like, that they show less skin though, because I'm American, but I grew up with a older brother who never let me show my skin a lot, or get short clothing. So, I just got used to wearing clothes that show like no skin, or just things that show my arms only, and I always wear pants. And, what you was saying about sharing, I also noticed, that Korean boys, they are so cuddly, and in America we don't see that a lot, like here guys think it's like being gay, to be all touchy with other dudes, but when I watch Kpop groups, like what the boys are like in their dorms, they are very touchy, and cuddly with each other. So, when you said that they don't mind the germs, or sharing the same bowl, or they just cough without covering their mouths, I think it's the same, with the dudes, like they just don't mind sharing germs, or hugging. Which, I find really cool, and it's changed my mind a lot. I have also become more touchy with people I'm around, after watching Korean reality shows, with the idols. And the Korean shows too, and since I've been learning a lot about the Korean culture, I also kind of developed a habit, of bowing to say sorry, or excuse me. Lol, and sometimes I forget that I'm in America, so sometimes I say things in Korea, by accident. Plus, I live in Portland, so here it is very multicultural, so I sometimes see Koreans and I can understand a little what they are saying. And I sometimes reply to them, in my head..
You're too cute Meghan. Is that how you spell your name? I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching your videos. Always so genuine and funny. It's gonna sound cheesy but I mean it 100%. Your videos just brighten my day! =D
My friends and I always share food. The only exception is if it's their main meal or if its like an ice cream cone or a lollipop where its really just meant for one person... but snacks and such always get shared :)
I would really hate that. Haha
Sharing all ma chips with everyone?!!
But I really miss your room videos. They seemed more comfy and personal.
and because of you i got to know korea so much better thank you :)
Aww I'm an hour late school problems :( but I've been waiting so AYYE I love your videos and I see you slightly doing a bit if the Sistar touch my body dance while talking about the booty shorts haha
Sharing stuff is very important in Turkey ,too.
I love the way you are talking with us! I feel like you are next to me haha you are amazing:)
Hey Meg, thanks so much for your vids I really love watching them you are so so so awesome and I love korea and I wanna visit it someday, stay cool ♥
your outfit in this vid is really cute!
I know you do the FADs but I think it would be fun if you talked about how your style changed (or if it didn't and you just had amazing style to begin with)
Love your videos )) keep the good work
ahhaha you are so cool! I never thought of travelling to Korea, but its def. on my list now hahahah Great videos!
Hey Megan! I also "hail" from Atlanta too 😂 I love your videos, especially since I'm interested in living there too .. :) come to Atlanta soon... I have questions lol
The sharing aspect reminds me of high school. In high school you shared EVERYTHING! Even if you had one stick of gum you had to share it with whomever wanted it. Bag of chips....forget about it! About the only thing safe was drinks (backwash!)
와 영상업로드하신지 하루만에 2만뷰가 넘었네요.ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ 근데 제가 영어를 못해서 무슨 내용인지를 모르겟네요.ㅠㅠㅠ 한국에 대한 이야기인데 영어를 못하는 한국인들이 이해하지 못하는게 아쉽네요.ㅠ 한글자막이 있었으면 너무 좋겟어요.^^
Haha that booty dance bit reminded me of... "dancin in ma booty shorts" #IssaRae
Gurrrrrd video though, always funny :)
Mexico is kinda like that. When we have guest, we start serving them food drinks, or when you go over at someone's place, you bring something, like food, drinks, etc. I'm not everyone is like that but my mom always told be, if you don't plan on sharing, do not take it out.
YOU ARE SO HILARIOUS. Love your personality
YOU ARE THE FUNNIEST GIRL EVER. I FREAKING LOVE YOU~~!!~
To be specific the allergies are from having too clean a household and as well as too weathertight...sealed from natural air. Also not being exposed to animals and plants from a young age.
I haven't been a subscriber for long but I love your videos and snapchats! I was wondering if the sharing extends to drinks as well. So if I went to a café with someone would it be okay for me to offer them a try of my drink?
Thanks for always sharing!
All positive changes and something all western cultures should change. Who gives a fuck aboot table manners wtf? As long food is not being spat on me and people don't stink I'm fine, and just don't try to reach in a bag of chips when my hand is already in there.
Am anew subscriber i am in love with all your videos 😭💗💗 .. And you look beautiful 💜💜.. And ilysm ❤️
I'll propably have a huge problem with sharing my food because if there's one thing I HATE doing that thing is sharing my food, don't get me wrong I do share with friends and all but it's not often and it's not with 30 people you know haha. Love watching your videos.
You're really funny! 'yo, pass that sawlt' So good..
I also see them ask for their favorite dishes instead of reaching over people. I guess it depends on which group you are with, if it's family or a group of friends at a restaurant.
You are such a funny person and I love seeing your videos! 사랑해요! How many years of college did you do to become a teacher in South Korea ??
Your videos ALWAYS make my day!!
ميغان you are the coolest :)
I actually share a lot when I'm eating!!!! I feel totally okay with sharing!!! I even ask if anyone wants some if it's a food that can be shared lol I'm not gonna share a hamburger or barbecue wings I just wouldn't bring that to the workplace or event because it's messy!!!!!
This was both insightful and funny! *Thumbs Up* =)
Greetings from LONDON!
