Why is that scary? Maybe she was going to cut some bread.

Yeah, I'm sure she was going to cut bread with an army/hunting style knife.

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.

I have at least half a dozen knives in my kitchen longer than six inches.

Now, if the lady were swinging it at people all crazy-eyed or whatever, that I can understand.

It's times like these that the language barrier bothers me.

Really? I suspect you've now spent the majority of your adult life in Korea, and the only times you are bothered by not having picked up enough of the language to make a basic phone call is when you are in a potential emergency?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Calling the police is not a simple phone call. I'd hesitate if I knew ten times as much Korean as I do now.

It usually doesn't inhibit my life in any way.

The president of the Spanish-Korean Friendship association has been arrested for buying 3 handguns illegally. It's a bit of non-news, but I just want to seize the chance to introduce Languish to the character, son of Spanish minor aristocrats turned Nork apologist and representative of the regime in Spain. He claims to be in employ of the NK government, which is still unclear, although he's been to Pyongyang several times and brokered some commercial deals.

They must just give away medals in that country.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Tim, how many years have you lived in Korea now?

And you haven't felt the need to learn the language? How long do you plan on staying?

I know. I know Asian languages can be pretty hard to learn for us Indo-European speakers but six years?
