The life in Seoul has so many things to discover. Especially with friends from different countries,even a tiny little thing becomes a cultural exploration and analyze. This time, I want to share the water bottle provided in a homy restaurant.
We come to eat our dinner in the same restaurant after afternoon rehearsal session from Monday to Saturday. Day after day, this routine boosts our observation to the details around. One day the Japanese artist Yuji found out the interesting measurement numbers on the bottle, starting from 300ml., 500ml, 700ml, 900ml, 1100ml, 1300ml. Both of us were shocked because normally we count 200ml, 400ml, 600ml, 800ml, 1000ml, 1200ml in our countries. We checked the bottom of it and for sure which is manufactured in Korea (not in China), then how does this idea come up? There might be a national custom or mindset hidden in this message...... We were beating our brains for this trifle till the dishes were ready in front of us. After that, everyone only focused on the food and no one mentioned it again......
Actually, it is not important whether we get the correct answers or not. The finding and sharing are truely precious to me. Now can you come up any interesting/crazy/weird explanation for this bottle?
