About Me


	Welcome to My Site.

	My name is Robin and I have been in Korea for over 5 years.

	I decided to make this site because I was intrigued by the idea that an entire culture could have a scientific belief about something that is not shared among the rest of the world.

	When I first heard about fan death, I discussed it with my Korean friends and students. I was the foreign skeptic and they were the loyal natives. I was shocked at how powerful their belief was and at the lack of critical thinking about the issue.

	All you have to do is bring up the issue of fan death with a Korean and it would be difficult to get them to accept the fact that fan death might not be true. Especially when talking to a foreigner, they are more likely to defend their cultural belief than question it.

	So, unable to have a semi-neutral discussion, I turned to the internet. After checking the internet for more information about fan death, I became greatly frustrated. I could not find any detailed information about fan death. So, I decided to make this site to encourage others to tell their stories and share their knowledge about the issue.

	As any other expatriate living in Korea knows, there are many beliefs, similar to fan death, that a foreigner may be skeptical about. I include these beliefs in my site, too.

	I am not a fan death expert, nor is anyone else in the world. You may find some inaccuracies on this page and of course my own bias and prejudices may creep up from time to time. Please feel free to notify me of my falacies.
