Koreans do not respond to, nor do they say "Bless you" when they sneeze. It's certainly not because this isn't a religious place. Many many Koreans are Christians who LOVE LOVE LOVE Jesus Christ, and more power to them. But still no acknowledgement of the sneeze. How is it that this happens in North American and not here? And how is it that we North Americans, most of whom are completely indifferent to relgiosity, have become engaged in a social tic that has us spouting non-secular jargon in the event of a nasal discharge?
