Korean English

Haaaa, as most of you may know, I went to Korea last month. Korea is one of the places where English is not treated as an international language. If a Korean sees you, the first language that they is going to try after they realize that Angu-gu doesnt work is japanese language. It is only natural though, considering that Japanese often go to Korea.

On that note, learning 5 ( if Arab and Deutch both countable as 0.5 ) languages get me nowhere there. I was really really troubled esp when....

Going somewhere

So... If anyone were to go to Korea. Here's an advise for you. You can either;

• Learn Korean
• Hire a tourguide
• Or YM a really nice friend to take you jalan2~

In my case, the friend is called Iman. No, serius. His name is Iman. Of course aku gi sane dengan bekalan iman, tapi name member aku tuh Iman. Nooriman Sulaiman name die~

Iman and I at FULL HOUSE.

Serious terima kaseh giler kat Iman, sebok2 pun die temankan gak kitorang gi jengjalan~ tak cam sorang laie member yang belaja kat Korea tuh, datang jumpe pun tak~ hehehhehe... Kepada sesiapa yang berkenaan, rilex rilex, aku tak tacing, takpe~ aku tau korang mmg seyes sebok~

Oh, pasal language rite?

Erm~ so ade this one day Iman takde, die kene pindah, so we took a tour. The tourguide is a Korean English speaker ( I said i am fine with both Japanese or English, but I guess saying that in English made them assign an English speaker ) . Amazingly however, her English is really good.

The tour took us to a palace, a muzium, Korean folk village, etc.

One of a guide work: taking pictures

Oh, I mention the guide's English is good right? I seriously thought so, I even complimented her.

Until she talks about traditional medicine.

She said it like this, quoted "During the old time, the doctor doesnt give antibiotics. They just take the patient purse and they give the medicine "

huh?

The doctor takes people purse?

"Yes, the doctor people purse, because from the purse the doctor can tell what wrong with your body"

Well, to a certain extent that IS true.I mean, from one's wallet you can tell that they are suffering from a major headache, but still~

It wasnt until later I realize she meant pulse.

But hey, aside from that mispronouncation, she IS really good. During the evening we changed to Japanese speaking guider though.

One last picture for laugh.
