At first I thought you wrote "Korean version of the SATs but with a lot more sake." Mmm, sake.

2009-11-02T09:13:12.750+09:00

English is used often to market products, usually as a single short phrase. Usually it makes sense, but there are a lot of T-shirt designs that incorporate nonsensical English. Koreans don't like clothing with Korean on it, for some reason, even though they often don't understand the English on the clothes that they do wear.

Interesting; I keep forgetting to ask - how prevalent is English in product marketing (such as this example?)

It's been really great. We order food a couple of days before we need it and they deliver it to our door in cooler boxes so it stays fresh until we get home. We've ordered from them a dozen or more times already - we still do some shopping at E-mart for things we need immediately, but you can't find the same quality products that Icoop has. Though this month we switched from the premium (20,000 won) membership to the regular membership - we weren't spending 100,000 won/month, so the 20% discount wasn't paying for itself.

How has this worked out for you? I've been looking for something like this for a long time. I miss Whole Foods!

I want to see a Korean show and tell.

What you described makes me feel angry a bit. I totally agree with you.

"Curb it down" ? "negative reinforcement" ???

I've never heard of something like that in the US.

Interesting - hopefully the mini-keg of banana milk helps to wash down the rice cakes.

This is one of the best things I've ever seen. Thanks for the blogs; I'll be heading to Daejeon with my girlfriend in February.

2009-10-12T22:53:54.725+09:00

you know, when i was in the galapagos we went snorkeling with sharks. er, we went snorkeling, and sharks showed up. as opposed to your thrilling and safe experience, our instructor was a raging buffoon, excourgaging us to snorkel down and provoke them. i'm highly surprised no one was killed either then or on later occasions, like when our teeny boat was tilting preciptously and upon investigation i found the whole crew chugging liquor at the wheel.
anyway, congrats on your diving certification and fun underwater adventures!

yeah, i think you're right. though the condom store had condoms with sharks on them. which is kind of the same thing.

Awesome! Even cooler than the condom store.

2009-09-24T11:31:51.177+09:00

Finding puer tea at all can be pretty difficult in the US. Oasis in bburg used to have a couple varieties, and a local asian market in town here carries some now. But yeah, it's not very high quality. I'm totally jealous that you guys got to visit such a nice teashop!
