| 30th March 2009 Bigbrother | It is nearly acrobatic! - From: Spring...^^ My cherry blossom is not yet here, Mt. Palgong. It is very great that your principal made a room for your yaga class in your school. Your cherry blossom are very beautiful like you. I went to Buddhism temple to do a zen, to feel and to smell of this spring. the yoga pose in this post is nearly acrobatic! It's awesome! |
| 29th March 2009 carlye | - From: Spring...^^ yaaay bangs! you're so now! where are the pix of YOU doing crazy yoga poses?! loves!! |
| 24th March 2009 Bigbrother | Cheer Up! - From: Feeling the past and the future... Without any stuffs, Every Saturday, I did play tennis double match at my hometown tennis court with my hometown friends(6 persons). last Saturday, I invited a tennis club team in Dae-gu which I am join. we matched with them(4 persons) for friendship at my hometown tennis court. It is certainly that they are superior to my team. we wanted them to help how can enhance our tennis skills. I could imagine your strode in the middle of your first cherry blossom in Yeungnam's university. Cherry blossoms in the evening! very impressive! It looked that you are a movie star in American movie, "Last Samurai". you did drink Makoli(rice crude wine). I also like drinking this with my father or my friends after working. As you like this wine. I admit you are quite a Korean. Megan! Today Morning. soon or later, Korean national baseball team will fight with JPN team to gain the top of the World Baseball Classic hosted in America. I will bet on my team's victory. 8 to 7, Kennedy score. to my regret, your national team couldn't defeat JPN team in the semi-final. I wish my national team would match with your national team in the final round. Today is good day! I feel you are in home-sick. CHEER UP! |
| 23rd March 2009 josh | i'm glad you loved crap art! - From: BUSY... hey thanks for coming to my show and checking it out...and it sounds like we started a spark in you to continue making art...keep it going! Keep on crappin in the free world! Best, Josh |
| 22nd March 2009 anonymous | - From: Feeling the past and the future... Sound advice..especially the the last piece. |
| 20th March 2009 Bigbrother | Your life is good life! - From: Life's Lil Pleasures... Unofficially, so many abortion committed in Soko. but officially, there is no abortion. because the abortion except for special case, a pregnancy due to a rape and a malformed baby, is crime(close to the first class murder) in Korea. It is also a kind of Korean's duality. It is very regrettable. some Korean is very cruel to new born human LIFE. and some have no responsibility to their babies. Do punish these people or many abortion will continue. but really, prosecutors in Soko are generally generous to this crime. this is my opinion about the abortion in Soko. You will have a busy next week. have a good official trip your students in Pohang! You yielded your seat for an older woman. although you can't communicate with perfectly each other in Korean. the older Korean woman must felt "your Jeong"(your merciful heart). It is certainly that You have a good "Jeong" in your heart and mind.:e I think, Good conversation is without words. |
| 17th March 2009 Bigbrother | spring is near at hand! - From: BUSY... I think taxi drivers were rudeness to you when you were in hurry. It is very pity that taxi drivers did object to your getting on taxi without a rational reasons. I would sometimes did experienced like you when getting on taxi. at that time, I felt that it was most insulted to me. I hope that taxi drivers in SoKo will be more generous to taxi riders, especially, to foreigners. I also am looking forward to cherry blossom which is near at hand. I will do plan to go out with my co-workers to enjoy cherry blossoms in Mt. Palgong in early April. My Princesses, My Cherry blossoms! Wait for me! I wait for you to see you from last harsh winter on. this is big brother, I am expecting your new stories. You, "shutterbug1218" are good lady and my good English teacher in this travelblog. |
| 12th March 2009 Bigbrother | My celebration is scheduled - From: 회식(celebrations)^^ My celebration is scheduled on tomorrow. we will have a raw fish and sushi in Japanese restaurant like you. but I am afraid that my co-workers might drink a lot regardless of their willingness. "Jeong make us do this". Jeong is a difficult problem to me. |
| 12th March 2009 Bigbrother | About "Jeong" - From: Cultural Differences... Konglish and "Jeong" You catch it, Jeong(Å), exactly in your Korean life. In Korean society, they have too much Jeong about their family, their relatives and their co-workers. but some people have too cool mind to thier neighbors as well as other korean people. In real city life, there are many persons have no attention to their neighbors. this is a "duality" of Korean people life. sometimes the younger men automatically bowed to their boss's illegal orders as well as their boss's legal orders. This, Jeong is a difficult problem to me. sometimes I had much mental agony due to this, Jeong. this, Jeong make me deter my right decisions in my life. this is only my opinion about "Jeong". this is big brother. |
| 11th March 2009 Weston | very cool - From: Cultural Differences... Konglish and "Jeong" Very cool to learn more about the world and other cultures |
| 7th March 2009 Shutterbug1218 | Teacher^^ - From: Life behind a desk... "sun sang neem..." I'm going to get flack for the way I phonetically wrote that, but that is the way it sounds to my ears every day, the tens of times I hear it a day. The romanization of Korean has it written differently, but for the pronounciation in the US ("neem" is more acurate than "nim," which would sound like "him," ie a male, which is not the sound that is being used in Korea. Holler) If it is a professor though, it is a different deal: "kyo su."^^ Also, I miss you lots Lady Jamz!!! SWAK! |
| 6th March 2009 Jamie | Teacher Megan!! - From: Life behind a desk... How do you say "teacher" in Korean? I am so excited for you! Mwuah! |

| 13th February 2009 Big Brother | May you get a good trip to Thailand! - From: Thursday ponderings... I hope you will get a good trip to Thailand and Cambodia. and refresh you mind and body. I think that you spend much of your time in doing yoga. I dare recommend that you will do dynamic exercise- table tennis, badminton, treckking-. It is just my recommedation. don't take it seriously. Yoga is very tranquility. In reverse, I think you need doing dynamic sports and hobby. when you will trip in Thai. so will do I in Japan. Good speed! |

| 12th February 2009 Big Brother | How to solve this problem? - From: 처음 ^^ As I know,In this blog, Korean is not applied. so my korean is broken in the upper comment. How do you solve this problem? your Korean is not broken in your main story. I am very surprised. Could you give me solution for this problem-Korean is not applied in this blog-? |
| 11th February 2009 Bigbrother | from Big Brother(Korean) To Shutterbug1218 - From: 처음 ^^ Your writing Korean is very Good. I stopped by your school by my way home, Daegu from my hometown, Gunwi on last Sunday. I would like to look over your school buildings. “I amn't stalker(^_^)”. Could you let me subscribe your articles in your blog? I hope you will be my another English guru in this TravelBlog. I had studied at Gyeongsan junior high school when I was a junior high school student. this school is famous for "rugby" in South Korea as well as Gyeongsan city. the rugby is very rare sports in Korea comparing with soccer. the rugby team of this school had gained many wins in the national match. ùà mÐ ð0 ˜ iÈä. ˜” Àœ |”| p à¥ÑÐ l ´ Ñ< $” ÄÐ ùà YP| ä µÈä. ùà YP t< ôà öȵÈä. ˜” ¤ ä DÙÈä.(Yø) ùà øX D 0 lÅ` ˆµÈL? ˜” ùàt ¸ øX äx ˜X ´ ¤¹t ´ü8 Èä. ˜” àñYÝtÈD L ½°àñYPÐ õ€| ˆµÈä. t YP” ½° ÐÌ DÈ| mÐ íD| ˜ X” YP …iÈä. íD” •lÐ Dt mÐ ” ä° lÀ ´Ù…Èä. t YP íD @ m ŒÐ Ît t¼µÈä. |

| 6th February 2009 Bigbrother | To Shutterbug1218 - From: Getting back to the daily grind^^ It is maybe that you don't know who I am. I am one of travelling bloggers in "TravelBlog -free inspiration-". I stumbled on your blog on last year. and I read your articles to learn English composition. I am Korean and elementary school teacher who live in Dae-gu. I have many opportunities to enhance my English composition from your articles in your blog. I think you are good woman and English teacher. I hope that I would go abroad to study Ireland's education system and English in the near future. It is very pity that you experienced minor offense in your Korean life. but you regarded it as stealer's Karma. It is certainly that you have a good mind and have a concern about Buddhism. thanks to you and your article, I have studied English composition thru your blog. I am expecting your new and continued your story. thank you very much. I do want you do visit my blog and do leave your comment ,if you possible. |

| 5th February 2009 Matthew Lee | Good job with your Korean pronunciation - From: Getting back to the daily grind^^ but some of them are a bit unnatural ; Korean English teachers= hangook in young a/ sunsang nim, 50 principals= oh sip myong(you need to put 'myong' for parson not your pet or cockroach:) kyo jang seon sang nim dle('dle' is for plural like 's' in English), weekends= ju mal, wae gook in(I think 'in' is more natural), sunday= i ryou il, understood= al gu it SSeo yo, five= da seot('oh' is correct too but in your sentence you'd have to use 'da seot'), last Fridy= gi nan ju kum yo il ppaum, hungry= bie go pa yo, eat= mu guu yo, cold= che woa yo, two purses= ga bang du gae, thief= do duk. sah coon??? Tan-ssi??? what do they mean? Bathroom= hwa jang sil. I hope you will improve Korean more and more. |
