Korean McDonald’s and Konglish
Korean McDonald’s and Konglish
The key to surviving in Korea is mastering a language I like to call Konglish. Konglish is a language like English but spoken with a Korean accent. Example: if you get in a taxi and say “McDonald’s,” the taxi driver will stare back at you blankly. You then repeat it slowly, “Mc-Do-nald’s.” You then go into a miming game where you say “McDonald’s” slowly while airb..

How Did Learning English Change My Life
By: Hitoshi Kazami
Why do many people study English? People have many reasons to study English such as to get merits to proceed to graduate schools, to obtain a job, to like an English country’s culture, to talk more about other countries’ people and so on. At first, I decided to study English to get a high - paying job. For this reason, I only studied English for the exam which the company required the applic..

Tofu Jeon(두부전)
I love little savory Korean pancakes, called jeon (jun, juhn, whatever). I've blogged about kimchi jeon and green onion jeon, but somehow never really shared the type that my family eats most frequently: tofu jeon! (두부전)
My mom is famous for her tofu jeon (it's a lot more fun to say in Korean- doo boo jeon). People request it, they gorge themselves on it, and there are never leftovers when she makes it becau..

The Wild and Wonderful World of Ddeok (Dduk)
Ddeok (also commonly romanized as dduk, less commonly as tteok or ttuk or…whatever weird way one could possibly romanize this word) is the generic name for a vast number of Korean rice cakes made of glutinous (aka sticky) rice. When one thinks of the word “rice cake”, Americans immediately think of those round things stamped out of a sheet of Styrofoam. Well, the type of rice cakes I’m talking about are mor..

A consonant reclaimed
A consonant reclaimed
Isn't change just a nasty thing? Them old folk sitting around jawboning about the good ol' days have got it right. For example, how much better Korean used to be before the process of palatalization set in.
Yep, those old listeners used to be able to tell the difference between, for example, "to fall 디다" and "to bear on the back 지다" or "to get fatter (살) 지다" just by the sound o..

After the Inauguration
My team worked their asses off the this inauguration. They worked 16-20 hours for four days straight without any complaint.
I am really counting my lucky star to have managers like these. They are the whips for my desire and they made it happen.
Sold the room at $409 each and we dug our heels when they want their stay shorten.
I am taking them to "Ski Roundtop" for snow tubing.
We will call it a team building.

Fall Colors
For those of you who don't wear any make-up you are really missing out! Let me be honest with you (girlfriend-to-girlfriend) if you aren't at least curling your lashes, putting on some type of lip gloss & adding a little blush you probably look 10 years older. Sorry...but it's true.
Remember, if I don't tell you the truth-who will?
I'm excited about: Shu Uemura gloss or anything made by Shu Uemura, Laura Merci..

Boryeong Mud Festival 2008
We arrived in Boryeong late in the afternoon, checked into our hotel and wandered down to the beach. Boryeong is a small city of around 100,000 residents, but its mud festival has attracted 1.5 million visitors since it began in 1998. This success has largely been due to a clever marketing campaign that runs nationwide in the weeks leading up to the event.
The idea of the mud festival is to get covered in mud, r..

Glowing Gwangjang
I love markets. Especially during the winter months. A favourite hideaway of mine is the glowing retreat of Gwangjang’s sprawling market eatery, or meokjagolmok. The endless walkway, flanked with over 200 steaming food stalls, remains the largest of its kind in Seoul. Everything from savory nokdu bindaetteok (Korean bean pancake) and flavorful bori bibimbap (a healthy mixture of barley, rice and vegetables) to the ..

Running Shoes with Wings
You know when your birthday arrives and along with the usual birthday wishes there's the question, "So, do you feel any older?". Of course the answer is no, I don't. But then it's been a gradual "getting older" feeling of the body. You don't notice it at the moment only as you reflect back. In some ways I feel the same emotionally as when I was a teenager; young, energetic, silly, into the latest thing, big dreams, a..

what you do with leftover kimchi
one of the national dishes of south korea is kimchi. for those of you living under a rock, kimchi is a traditional vegetable side dish made usually from napa cabbage, daikon and scallions, seasoned with brine, garlic, and chili pepper. my mother used to make kimchi a few times a year. she’d cut all the cabbage into chunks, put them in a big bucket, soak them in salt water, and leave the bucket in the garage for a p..

The Absence of Honorifics
I have been guilty of not teaching my children the importance of showing respect to their elders by using honorifics. I am always referring to adults by their names instead of Mr. this or Ms. that. It has become a bad habit and I need to break it. I have always admired parents who taught their children to say m'am and sir when responding to and speaking with adults. I wish I were one of them, but I am not. Lazi..

Thanksgiving: A Family Comedy
Growing up as the eldest child of Korean immigrant parents, I was usually our family's conduit to the intricacies of American life.
Between school and my friends, I could often be found running home to share my latest discoveries: "Mom, have you ever tried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?" "Do you know about this fat white guy named Santa Claus?" "Ever hear about this weird lady called the Tooth Fairy who pays ..

'Oldboy' Goes to Hollywood?
Five years ago, I saw a shocking and morbid movie. It was the first Korean movie I had seen in a theater, as it came out here.
I was fascinated, I was amazed, I was impressed by how great the movie was (it took me a good three days to snap out of the haze that the movie put me in).
The story was intense and riveting, and full of the usual Korean madness-- plus, this guy lives off potstickers for 15 years. (It..
