Meal break Musings

Posted by: Maddie | Wednesday, 5 August 2009, 12:26 | Category : Consciousness

Back by popular demand…so i was meant to write blogs here, but then i haven’t since the very first one. This is mostly because 1. I dont have time to write blogs. 2. I dont think people have time to read my blogs. Then with the marketing knowledge that i posses i thought about a solution to this problem — short blogs which i do have time to write in my lunch break, and that you have time to read during your lunch break. Not that i am assuming you would chose to use your precious 30 min meal break to come and read this. It should only take a couple of minutes, or less. It is really just going to be one sentence about something i’ve been muling over.

EG.

Why is it that — it is only socially acceptable for Asians to wear facemasks in public?

Hmmm…food for thought.

I’ll keep you posted (irregularly obviously!)

Hi Maddie… you’re worth a couple of minutes of my lunch hour…

Maybe in Asian countries there is a better focus on politeness, and how impolite it is to share your germs.

mmm..curious question. It may be the western focus on looking into people’s faces is polite whereas the asian focus tends to be that it is not polite to look into someone’s eyes/face.

otherwise, dunno. enlighten me.

Asians in asian countries or in Australia?

Obviously the Asians in Australia are bringing a habit from their homeland… Asians (in Asia) are pedantic about public health etc (which is a good thing I suppose)… and the rest of the world knows that, so expects it I guess.

But I don’t think it’s *only* socially acceptable for Asians, especially with this whole swine flu thing.

I brought some home from work, but I couldn’t bring myself to wear them, even with my severe phobia of sick people.

About St. Eutychus

Eutychus was a young man who fell to his death because the Apostle Paul preached for too long (Acts 20). I've decided to canonise Eutychus and make him the patron saint of my dalliances around the Internet.
