The 사무실

Transcripts from a “frustrating-when-it’s-happening”, but “funny-in-retrospect” foreigner-infused Korean workplace.
Gaston : Rolanda how do you say “jjimjilbang” in English?

Rolanda : Umm…maybe sauna or steam room or even public bath house.

Gaston : Ok.  Tells his co-worker to call it a sauna public steam bath.

Rolanda : Well…that’s not exactly…

Gaston : Interrupts.  Rolanda I have to know…do you like jjimjilbang?

Rolanda : Nah, it’s not really my thing.  But some of my friends really like it?

Gaston : You don’t like being naked?  Ha ha ha!

Rolanda : Well, it’s that and I’m not really all that interested…

Gaston : Interrupts.  Ha ha ha!  You should have to wear your bathing suit, but the others will be naked!  Ha ha ha!

Rolanda : Yea, well it’s just that I’ve never been to a sauna…

Gaston : Interrupts. You know it’s kind of Korean culture.

Rolanda : Being naked?

Gaston : Ha ha ha!  Noooooo.  Jjimjilbang!  Of course in the men and woman together jjimjilbang, you shouldn’t have to be naked.  Ha ha ha!

Rolanda : Oh that’s interesting.  Wishing Gaston would stop referring to me being naked or anything related.
