Since this is turning into a generic Korea thread I wonder...

How common are Hanzi over there? In Korean films I never seem to see any Chinese characters on any signs or anything. Its  always just Hangul.

And...is there anything worth seeing in Korea? Except the DMZ.
I don't know is there anything worth seeing in England? Except Big Ben?  :huh:



And you wonder why people treat you like an ignorant fuck! Even if you don't know anything about a country, there are always interesting things to see.
err, it was a question, not an insult.

Plenty of preserved palaces and things if that's your bag.  If I'm not mistaken Korea boasts the largest carved reclining Buddha and the oldest Buddhist wood blocks.

Hancha is not used much in street signs and such.  Used in newspapers, but less than in Japan.  I've been told by Koreans that an educated Korean knows 1,000 characters, whereas an educated Japanese knows 3,000.

There's Stonehenge too.

It's the wording of the question that's so awful.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Tim these words don't fit you personality; I know you're trying to sound hard, but it just comes off as naff.

I judge a country by sitting in a hotel room there watching porn.

That is usually my mark too, but when in Budapest, Hungary and going to the mall and seeing the girl with "wild zone" writtenn across the ass of her jeans was good enough.

Not sure what would be better than that (well, the rotating sign with "sex" and arrows spinning in all directions did seem top drawer).

Tamas refused to ride the beet wagon into Budapest to see me. 

Next to the hotel (pretty damned good one too) was the synagogue and right next door to that was the porn theater.  The casino was across the street.  There was a bar ever 12 feet, and a line 2000 feet long at the US embassy to get out of the country.

I did have the dream once of traveling the old WP countries and just fuck my way across them.

Thankfully, I never did. I saw the AIDS rates there. :pinch:

So you're saying that's why America gets all the prudes.
