Down with the sickness

One of the downsides of working with Koreans, is their inability to take sick time. It's not that they don't get sick days, it is viewed as a sign of weakness to take them. This is an alien concept to me, if I have sick days they will be used. One very big reason is I don't want others catching the bug I have. Which brings us to the big cultural difference, and why myself and many of my coworkers are currently sick. Have also noticed here that when someone coughs or sneezes they do not put their hand in front of their face. Nothing like hearing a sneeze behind you and feeling the spray. Think I'm gonna get a big can of Lysol spray and start returning fire.
