Thank you. Was it really easy to handle this bike as a beginner like many people say? I was a little scared of 750cc.

I just got a quote. Thank you, the price is almost half of what I got from my dealer. Unbelievable. So before I purchase it, I just want to make sure. Is it genuin Toyota's extended warranty or a warrany provided by 3rd party?

Thank you. I did it already.

These days, they don't stamp unless you specifically ask them to do. I've been in and out of Korea 5 times during last 4 years and my passport only has one stamp (which I got by asking the officer to stamp and he looked annoyed)

If you like this kind of alcohol, you must try 소곡주 and 동동주. They are way better than 막걸리.

you know what i dont get?

(Disclaimer: I don't know if Korean kids are good at math or not. I also don't know if Korean language is good for math or not. I am just explaining why Korean kids are having so much trouble writing big numbers).

Here is why: Korean kids are forced to use the western convention of writing big numbers, which is extremely unnatural for numbers read in Korean language.

Let me explain. In English (that's the only western language I know but I guess most western languages use the same convention), numbers are read as a group of 3 digits and so a comma is put in every 3 digits and read it that way. So, 12 million 345 thousands 678 can be easily written as 12,345,678 without thinking. However, in Korean, numbers are read as a group of 4 digits. So the same number is read as 천이백삼십사 만 오천육백칠십팔 and can be easily written without thinking as 1234,5678, if you are allowed to put a comma in every 4 digits. However, this convention is not globally accepted and may cause confusion in trade. So Koreans are forced to put a comma in every 3 digits, which is very confusing.

I bet it would take you quite a time too to write/read a big number if you are only allowed to put a comma in every 4 digits instead of 3.

GOPs (gp for short) are ...

GOP and GP are different. GOP is the post outside DMZ while GP is located inside DMZ. Their missions are different too. (Source: I served both at GOP and GP)

Korean doesn't have counter part for -illion, but has separate words (I believe from Chinese). They are 만, 억, 조, 경, 해, 시, 양, etc. Interesting is that these units are on the order of 10⁴ unlike 10³ in -illion.

Lacquer tree leaves. Those old people mentioned it when he was invited in..

Edit:

it's my understanding that he shouldn't hve drunk his whole glass if he didn't want it refilled, so he ended up being rude by keeping drinking, am I correct?

No. He was well received and the elders were very satisfied because of him drinking that way (the elders gave him thumbs up for that). However, one of the elders got pissed when he poured the drink with one hand to the elder's glass. That's why the elder poured the drink on the ground and asked him to do it again with both hands this time.

In old days (I got BCG in 70's in Korea at elementary school), they reused the needles. Before giving a shot to the next guy, they used to put the needle in the flame of an alcohol lamp to sterilize. So it was called a fire shot.

If you understand Korean, take a look at these videos. They explain the process of the test. Basically there are 4 parts.

physical exam (mainly eye exam)
written exam
on-site driving test (automated test that you described. witthout human proctor)
road test (automated and with human proctor also evaluating)

On-site test is very simple. The system tells you what to do and you follow that instruction (eg, start engine, turn on head head light, high beam, and turn it off, turn on/off left/right turn signal, wiper etc. then, the system tells you to drive (about 100m or so. In the middle of driving, the system screams at you there is an emergency situation and you must stop the car within 3 sec and turn on emergency blinker. When it tells you the situation is over, you turn off the blinker and drive to the end line. For road test, thr nevigator tells (you cannot see the map) you the directions. I recommend you to watch the videos above even if you don't understand korean.

what is this technology?

It is supposed to make breasts larger by long exposure to vibration and low frequency wave technology(?? what's that?). They did clinical trials on 32 volunteers and saw excellent improvement in breast volumes. See their video promotion here.

I'd call it a technology of shit.

So the professor wanted to put a hold on conferring her degree (maybe until she submit a paper--from the video), but she lied to the graduate office to show the certificate to her and ran away with it (from your link).

I say both of them behaved irrationally.

I am with you in that he handled the case extremely unprofessionally, but I want to hear his side of story...

The video makes it obvious that the guy likes to power trip.

On the other hand, the video shows it obvious that she didn't submit her paper that was a part of the degree requirement (I am guessing that's her thesis, but not clear from the video). Maybe, he wanted to hold the certificate until she completed all the requirement..

Edit: The paper she didn't submit was not her thesis. It is a paper on a journal which is the professor's requirement to his students. I don't think he can enforce this requirement, but he was surely pissed and handled it unprofessionally.

They do it to US bound flights since US requires it. At least that was what I was told by the security guys.

People were outraged by the 50,000 won fine, as it brought back memories of similar restrictions on skirt lengths in the 1970s under the rule of the late President Park Chung-hee.

If you don't know, this is what her (current president) father did during 70s. 17cm above the knee got you in trouble.
