On bandages

There was one day when I had lunch with my colleagues and after eating in the staff food court, we went to the 13th floor relaxation area to chit chat. And we somehow started talking about foreigners who come to Korea for plastic surgery.

My colleagues were saying that it's so weird to see all these foreigners walking around Gangnam area with their bandages on their noses and all. I was shocked when I heard that because I heard that most Korean girls who do PS do that, especially in Gangnam, so foreigners think it's normal/common/alright to do likewise post-surgery (this is what I heard/read in blogs; I don't really go to Gangnam often because it's too far- yeah even though it's just a bus ride away). And then it was my colleagues' turn to be shocked because they said that Koreans don't do that...the people walking around with the bandages are foreigners. Hahahaha I guess when you're wrapped up in bandages and all, no one can tell whether you're a foreigner or Korean unless you start talking.
