Talking Re: Funny Korea

I'm not sure anyone wants to keep this thread open anymore. I've decided to just use photos for Funny Korea- with no verbage.

Seriously, we (as in you and I) had this conversation on here around Columbus day and I even provided you with two or three links that talked about how Columbus didn't get to the mainland US until his third or fourth try, and the guy thought he was in India. The vikings came traveling to America long before Columbus and the Native Americans were there long before that. You can't "discover" someplace new when people are already there.
I see. Aanyway , Thanks so much.
But your Avatar is too cute. I like such that fashion.
And don't hate me ! Im not a bad person.
I just......want to learn English.
I just.......want to speak English.
Have a good night.

Cool Re: Funny Korea

Netmankt: I lied about no more verbage. You asked who discovered Korea.

I discovered Korea!

It was 1959, at Osan Air Base. It had been discovered before, by the Dutch Traders, and later the the Japanese. The Japanese took over easily, because the Koreans had only a Turtle Ship. They held off the Japanese Navy bravely, but later lost to the Army as they didn't have sufficient guns. Now you might think that the younger generation might have learned from that, but they didn't! As long as there are people who do not understand that no guns means no freedom, those of us with guns will be asked to die for their freedom. And they will continue to be ungrateful. Being slaves to the Japanese for 35 years should have been sufficient time to understand that being unprepared is not smart. Computers are important, but the people with guns can overpower the digital nerds. Hope the Korean Military continues to be vigilant after we leave.

Don't worry ! We will do well.
There is no more war in The Korean Peninsula.
If we be one someday, we will be a strong country.
Mr.Kim, he wants to cultural and economical exchanges between South and North.
He is knowing what the best important for Korea's future.
But it will take a long time until we become one.
Maybe.......more than 50 years....
We started one step right now.
Joe !
You need not worry about my country, Korea.
Take your time ! and enjoy with your family !
Mr.Kim will want that.
These days, his health is not good, I know.
I think he has a lot of stress because of President George Bush.

Re: Funny Korea

Maybe 50 years will be right. Mr. Kim's son may be smarter than his father. I wish South Korea the best in their future in Asia. Maybe unification will be possible years from now. It will not be easy. There will be many economical problems to overcome. China may wait until Korea becomes one.

Re: Funny Korea

That would be good to see a unification. I'm sure Korea's economy would get hit with the absorption of poor NK then prosper much more in the long run. Is capitalism more powerful than war or diplomacy? China is confused; am I communist or capitalist? A lot of these countries need to come out of the closet on this issue, yes?

Re: Funny Korea

My 6-year old likes to turn on her interior light in our van. We take 1-5 mile trips so our battery already isn't happy and with that little bit of stress, the battery dies.

In the US, if you see a neighbor and tell him your battery is dead and ask for a jump, he'll pull up the car, hook them up and you're on your way in about 5 minutes. he might even follow you for a couple miles to make sure the battery is good to go.

In Korea, the neighbor will call his auto service company who will drive a truck over, hook up your car and the service truck. The Korean neighbor will pay for the service. This takes about 30+ minutes!

It's absolutely insane!! Just hook up the batteries!!!

The pigs were alive, just K.O.ed, They would take a “big bat” that resembled a baseball bat, only bigger, and KO the pig, tie them onto the back of their bicycle and hurry to the market before the pig woke up.

Now if that wasn’t bad enough, things got even better when the pig “came too” on the way to the market.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT LOL

Cool Re: Funny Korea

Baby Factory-But the neighbor did you a favor by calling the truck, and he/she didn't get out in the cold or get his/her hands dirty. Seems fair to me.
See you in Seoul in a day or two.

Performance- I was here 'way back and saw many pigs tied on the back of a bicycle. I don't buy the baseball bat story. The ones I saw were fed rice wine until they pass out. A happy unconcious pig can sleep for hours, even on the way to market.
