Repeat
Hey Dan. Love the artickle, (deliberate mistake.) Howeve, you might want to look it over as you have repeated the second paragraph... which needless to say is most disconcerting. Something along the lines of deja vu!!

Reading the details of your trip in one concise block doesn't take away from how impressive it is that you have this all ahead of you. What is that nonsense about Ewan McGregor though? I wish I had the stones to be Daniel Banks, but instead I'm being pulled by heart strings back to North America. While I'm applying for schools and looking to rejoin the 9-5 gaggle, you will be gorrilla watching and heading to the World Cup! Keep the blog rolling and I'll certainly keep reading. Be safe.

Loved it
Wow, I like that piece better than any other you've written. Found myself actually physically nodding in agreement and smiling part way through! But, you may have offended some of the nicer Plymouthian women! And, weren't you always a little weird?! Sorry, couldn't only write a positive comment - it'd only disappoint you!

To be honest its not really a subject that comes up much unless you bring it up yourself. You will see a bit on the English news sites but not a lot more tahn you see in the international press. South Koreans dont have the same fascination with the north as we do in the west. Its not something that hangs over them as a threat everyday but more as a source of shame that their country is split into 2 (because they still the whole Korean peninsula as their country), and they would much rather focus on the positive aspects of Korea. Particularly when talking with westerners. You might find some people, particularly in the north of South Korea, who have family in the DPRK. These people are much more open to discussion as to the future of the peninsula as a whole. However, for the majority, most were brought up to despise the North after the end of the Korean war and see it as a place almost as evil as Japan. Perhaps Isengaard next to Mordor if you like. If you can get someone to talk to yo about the situation and how they feel about it then you will get an interesting insight. However, it won't be something that you encounter on an everyday basis. Which is a good thing as there will be so much more to get your head around in the first few months. Hope this helps and good luck!

Like your insights
I will soon be teaching in Seoul and it is nice to read your insights. This makes me feel safer. However, how to S. Koreans deal with N. Koreans? What do you hear on the news while in-country?

let me first point out that I never mentioned that I like the smiling and being quiet aspect. And the 'average' photo was supposed to be a bit tongue in cheek :) Sorry if you didn't notice that. I also did point out on a number of occasions that I was generalising. Surely the nature of any article like this is that a certain degree of generalising is required in order to make it readable. Im sure a lot of Korean women do cheat on their husbands. But Im sure its a lot less than the number of western women that do it. That was the point that I was making. Oh and point 2 I did say that their self sacrifice wasnt ideal but it was admirable. Im not saying thats what I want my wife to do, Im just saying its perhaps better than the swathes of women in the west who go into relationships and dont know how to grow up and become a wife and a mother in addition to being an individual. This can of course be equally applied to the men, although I dont think Korean men are much kop either.

Hmmmm - really?!
Hmmmm, I really wanted to rise above your comments on women but being a British woman, I'm afraid shutting up and smiling politely are not traits I have (or wish to possess)! So here are my few comments on your section about women. 1. I can't help but notice the photos you included are not of average Korean woman and the women in those pictures certainly spend time "thinking about themselves". 2. Although "dedicating" and "sacrificing" myself to my home, husband and children is a dream of mine - I think I'll pass and actually have a life. As I'm sure some Korean women also do. 3. And really, no Korean women cheat on their husbands? I seriously doubt it. Have fun in England! Miss you xxx
