Every since it started getting cold here in Busan I've walked through the school corridors wondering why on earth all the windows are swung wide open!
All the kids and teachers sit inside wearing coats and talk about how cold it is and yet here we are in a modern building with heating capabilities and all the windows are open.
So I posed the question to my co-teacher, who replied:
"Yes it's very silly, but the problem is that we don't use hoovers like you in the west, when the students clean the school they just use a big brush and it fills the air with dust, so we have to open the windows"
Using those big brushes just moves the dust around rather than actually cleaning, and Koreans make staying healthy a priority, so there we go. At least I know why now. Though I might put forward the idea of investing in some hoovers.
