I don't mind and thank you. But let's not start with endless

Heh! Your story illustrates -- in a minor way -- the tribalism
that's inherent in all of humankind. And the Asian cultures (as
you know, since you've spent some time in Korea) are among the
most tribalistic of all.
Each and every one of'em believes that they're God's duly-appointed
Superior People.
The Koreans think the Japanese are inferior and lazy, and the
Japanese feel that the Koreans are the 'niggers' of Asia.
The Thais will barely tolerate the Laotians, but really hate the
Vietnamese.
And the Chinese, of course, look down on =everybody.=
Yep, it's a strange and inscrutable world, there in the land of
rice and lidless eyes.
Even the =Mexicans= believe that THEY'RE the Superior Race ('La
Raza'). How's THAT for irony?! ;)
What the heck are you doin' in Korea, anyway? You're not a
Mormon or a Moonie, are you?

This is, unfortunately, pretty accurate compared to what I've seen and what I've studied. Historically speaking, though, the Koreans are bitter against the Japanese on account of having been occupied by them [, the Japanese,] from 1904-1945 (IIRC). There are plenty of horrible stories about this time period. The Koreans have a phrase that translates to "when whales fight, the shrimp between get squished". This pretty much sums up Koreas history, settled between China, Russia, and Japan. > The Thais will barely tolerate the Laotians, but really hate the > Vietnamese. > > And the Chinese, of course, look down on =everybody.= I haven't spent as much time in these areas, so I can't comment here. > Yep, it's a strange and inscrutable world, there in the land of > rice and lidless eyes. a.k.a "Land of the Morning Calm" > Even the =Mexicans= believe that THEY'RE the Superior Race ('La > Raza').

I'm not Mormon, and [if you'll pardon my ignorance] have no idea what a 'Moonie' is. I'm going to school at Yonsei University at the moment, though I really don't know what I will do with a degree in the Korean language or Asian studies. I just kind of, ended up here. Maybe I'll take a year off and go be a Buddhist monk. :) Which reminds me - I still need to finish that "How to Read Korean Through Ascii" thing...

A 'Moonie' is a follower of the Korean cult leader Sun Myung Moon,
who runs an international operation called the 'Unification Church.'

The latter of which costs a bit more than the rest, but the burgers are bigger :) . Still, they're no match for the GOOD stuff... and I'm still getting used to the language. Ooh, ooh, one more story: I was at the airport in Inchon a while back, and after spending most the afternoon trying to find a friend of mine who was heading to Thailand (who I missed by 18 minutes... oh, I was perturbed), I went to a McDonald's. I figured I had practised my language enough for the day (what with "which plane goes to Thailand?", "No, I don't have a ticket, I'm here to meet a friend", etc.), so I was ready for "Number one please". I ordered my Big Mac meal (which is pronounced "set", not "meal" here, FYI) and looked around for a place to sit to get into a corner as quick as possible (I don't exactly blend in here). Then the cashier caught me off gaurd - "dud-kes-oh-yo?" or "Will you eat it?" I looked at her for a bit, then figured I'd heard her wrong, so I had her repeat it. Nope, same thing. Of course I'm going to eat it, it's -food- isn't it? I told her such, to which she appeared quite confused. After a bit more struggling across the language barrier, I resorted to nodding and saying "yes". I got the hamburger, and for the same price as was up on the board, so it worked out in the end. It would be nice, though, to eat in a place where the little kids blatently stare at me, while their parents blatently avoid eye contact. *sigh* What was I talking about? Oh yeah, Korean hamburgers. Well, Koreanism seems to leak into everything they try to import from abroad, but that has been the case with every country I've been in. -Including- America. I could ramble on about that for a while, too. But as this letter is quickly getting bigger than the ones I send to my parents, I think I'll refrain...

The cashier was asking if you were going to eat it THEN and THERE
-- in the restaurant, on a tray -- as opposed to wanting it packaged
for 'take-away.'

I assume you mean "...in a place where the little kids DON'T blatantly
stare..." :)
Well, next time, you can reply "No" to the "dud-kes-oh-yo?" question.
They'll put your food in a paper bag, and you can carry it home...or
to some secluded spot in a park, where you can eat in peace.

Sure. Happens everywhere.
Let's see...did the Korean McDonald's menu include Dog McNuggets?

Heh! Just paste your story from this message into a letter to
your parents. They'll love it! ;)

But I was at the airport, and it would've been a while before I got home. Cold french fries == bad. I didn't see any nice park areas either, maybe I'm just not seeing them. There is a cool-looking old castle that I need to check out, maybe they've got a courtyard type area that would make for a nice picnic. :) > >What was I talking about? Oh yeah, Korean hamburgers.

Happens everywhere. > > Let's see...did the Korean McDonald's menu include Dog McNuggets? Nope, that's a specialty, you have to go to a more traditional spot to get it. I did see a dog farm the other day though (fleetingly), they raise them just like cattle, apparently. Only less of them. > >I could ramble on about that for a while, too.
