I know that I love, love, love warm weather. But what the hell was I thinking?! The name of my photo today is "My Most Prized Possession". I promise it fits. So, with my fan blowing on high speed, I thought I would tell you about fan death. Fan death is pretty funny to me. All cultures have silly superstitions, even Americans. Don't walk under a ladder, don't open the umbrella in the house, blah, blah, blah. You get the point. In Korea, if you sleep with your fan on you will DIE!! (That's how thay say it, too) It's true. Ask any Korean. The fans that are manufactured and sold here are even made with a timer so that if you should happen to doze off, it will inadvertently save your life by turning itself off. How sweet, huh? You may think that this is just a light hearted superstition, but I can assure you that it is taken very seriously here. Google it if you don't belive me. When my local friend warned me about it, she said this like my electric fan was some kind of phsyco that was gonna turn on me at any moment if I did not take the proper precautions. I politely thanked her for the advice and I assured her that I thought I could hold my own should my fan decide to turn against me. I LOVE KOREA!!!!
