Have you ever....?

A few weeks ago, I was practicing this grammar point with several of my classes. Here are a few questions for you:

  • Have you ever eaten balsamic avocado pizza?
  • Have you ever accidently trespassed onto a military compound?
  • Have you ever eaten green tea cream cheese?
  • Have you ever stepped on a live crab?
  • Have you ever gotten your hair cut without knowing the language?
  • Have you ever eaten shrimp tempura from a street stall?
  • Have you ever drank soju with a soldier?
  • Have you ever flipped off a group of people without knowing it?
  • Have you ever been called masculine?
  • Have you ever met a Toyama JET at the DMZ?
  • Have you ever puked after eating at a street stall?

In the last 6 days, I can answer "Yes, I have" to all of the above, except one! Any guesses??

Here are pictures to prove some of the above. Although I don't have pictures of everything...but nobody has guessed correctly yet!

I'm guessing the last one is false. Did you really puke? I've never seen anyone puke after eating from a street vendor...

I think you didn`t tresspass on the military compound. They yank the fingernails from people who do that, and then impale them on foot-thick stakes as warnings. Unless you just stepped your toes over the cordon just to say you did it.

Good on you if you did. There are people with guns standing right there.

i'm going with the pizza one

chigau yo!!! You are all wrong! Nice try!

The green tea cream cheese was in a pastry, interesting, but wouldn't eat it again. I didn't puke right after eating at the street vendor, but a few hours later! And I'd eaten udon noodles--so sad!! And actually, I did trespass, I have the pictures to prove it. I don't think it's used too much anymore. But I was tipped off when I walked by a blown out house painted in camaflague (sp?). And then I looked on the mud road---all the treds were deep, military jeeps, military boots! I turned around and got out of there! I had snuck in from the back, the front gate was locked and covered in barbed wire! And I ate the pizza too--at Pizza Hut!

Try Again!

I think it must be,"Have you met a Toyama JET at the DMZ or been called masculine! I don't recall you saying anything about meeting another JET??

Kirsten said...

still all wrong! I did meet a JET at the DMZ and one of Kelsey's students said I was masculine because I don't paint my face with pounds of make-up like most Korean girls.

and this was only what I did the first week. I haven't posted about the 2nd week yet!

By process of elimination, it must be the "stepping on the live crab" thing! Ouch! Scary!

you got it! i may have walked through lots of fish markets, but i never stepped on a live crab....although it would have been possible.
