You're in the Korea thread and your comment is in response to a guy talking about Koreans. Even if you were for some reason mimicking asians in general, or mimicking the Chinese, it doesn't fix anything. Like I said, personal hygiene is absolutely an issue here, but it doesn't make pantomiming a befuddled local okay.

Rumour is that on the day of Sewol capsizing President Park was missing for 7 hours, possibly with Yun-Hoe Cheong. Sankei Newspaper's Seoul correspondent wrote an article and was prosecuted for spreading false rumour.

And yes there was 'alleged rumour', and talking about it won't get me prosecuted or extradited. However actively spreading rumour is (via whatever method), hence why that correspondent was prosecuted. Also Blue House probably investigates people talking about it in secret.

This'll never happen but I hope this MERS thing encourages hospital reform.
I've visited friends in the hospital a few times before and they're about as secure as a sieve. No check ins, no security (I assume until way late?), you can just come in, hang out, bring outside food and drink, bring kids and old people, nobody cares. Now everyone is shocked that hospitals are turning into viral hothouses.

As long as I'm wishing for things, I hope I get a few break days out of it, too.

My girlfriend is a nurse and has repeatedly been told by older nurses not to wear gloves when dealing with bleeding old drunks in the ER "because it's rude."

There's no morphological clue to guess at new words in Korean though. That is, unless you already know Hanja, in which case the alphabet is an impediment to understanding. :smuggo:

I've met a few people who had been in Korea for more than a year and couldn't read. All of them lived in Seoul though. As far as I know I've never met anyone outside Seoul that didn't acquire at least bare basic Korean ability.

I can get the people who know they're only there for a year just for something different and don't really learn the language but not being able to read, it's so easy how do you not learn that

Being illiterate sucks rear end, I can't imagine. It's one of the worst parts of moving to China, the amount of work put into learning and I can still barely read
