That was a fun read. Thanks! I am grateful I learned some of those superstitions before I offended anyone. But I definitely used a fan a lot this past summer (set the timer for an hour). I think a Korean summer withOUT a fan at night would have been death....

Thanks for the comments. Yep, Korean summers are brutal. Being used to LA's dry heat, I wasn't prepared to deal with the humidity one summer I was there. And I don't think anyone who has written his/her name in red didn't die all of a sudden either. but i still wouldn't do it. :-)
