Subject: Any real Koreans on this board?
SGTObvious    4/27/2003 6:49:06 PM
Just curious- I have just read that Korea is the most broad-band connected nation, so I wonder if tany of this is read over in Dae Han Min Guk.

Final Historian    RE:Any real Koreans on this board?   4/28/2003 12:50:29 AM
I would be surprised if there were none, but then again life is full of surprises. You would think that at least one Korean would have found this board and liked it. We have people from pretty much every continent, except Antarctica(of course some people may be lying about where they really are...), so there is no reason I can think of why the board shouldn't have any Korean members.

Yes it would be surprising. However I also found it surprising that no Iraqis took an active interest in the forums during the last 2 months. Strange. Maybe they had better things to do?

Iraq only had 12,000 subscribers to Iraq's internet services, and all of these were apporved by the Baath party. Which makes the claims of the blogger who made his site famous for being the "voice" of a Bagdadi citizen from the war zone quite suspect. Particularly after he was posting when power was shut down in Baghdad. I won't give the URL, because I don't support dishonesty.

Like I said, I don't think he'll/it'll be around too long. But while he's still here to spout off his/its garbage, let's try and corral him/it into the right section.

How does that crow taste now? Turns out he had a honda generator and a sat phone connection paid for by one of the brit papers( you know, the ones that have girls showing their teats in the center of the rag). The Guardian, IIRC. Raed is a queer as they come, so he is really happy to be rid of Saddam, who had some unsavory interests as far as fags. But he is a lala liberal who thinks the world will become a nice place if we all just close our eyes and make a wish, jump in the air and click our heels together 3 times. T.

Anyonghashimnicca, Bond Manager. I asked the question because it seemed a little odd to have a board discussing security in Korea, with no Korean input, especially considering the RoK is the world's most densely Borad-Band connected nation. We need a Korean perspective. Not Korean myself, I just spent some time there courtesy of the US Army.

I'm a REAL 100% Korean guy. Thanks for your interst SGTObvious and other people. As your words above, Korea is the most broad-band connected nation. But this makes Korean people stand within our borders.(Too many Korean website!) An addition, Koreans(and Japanese) are one of the Poorest english users on our planet. Our language is the farthest from english and the closest from japanese.(look at the distance on the map) My english's not that great,too... ;-b These can explain why you guys CANNOT see any Koreans before. You can get Korean military fan's articles from link (most respected site) link (second best) link (mostly aircraft carrier and ROK Navy's ship buliding plan) if you can korean...;; THANX

SGTObvious    Welcome to the board, ROK_Navy   12/22/2003 8:36:00 AM
And thank you for the sites. I can read Korean, but very, very slowly- and I don't know many of the words. My language skills were better years ago when I was stationed there. I hope that you will be able to contribute, because you have knowledge the rest of us don't. I must disagree with you on one point- Koreans tend to be better at English than they admit. (Better than Japanese) But, you have a culture that tells people not to be too proud and boastful about skills. So, first question- what is your Opinion on Korean troops in Iraq?

Hey all...great board. I'm Korean American...born in Korea but educated here in NYC. SGTObvious, noticed you're from NYC. What part are you from? If you like Korean food, I personally have to say I think KTown Queens has better stuff/prices than KTown Manhattan. I also got 2 months of "unofficial" schooling in Korea every summer until I hit the 6th grade or so. Ever been to Kwangju? I spent my early years there and my folks still live there.

SGTObvious    Hi USN-MID   4/12/2004 8:58:43 PM
I am in the Bronx. K-Town Queens... that would be in Flushing, right? I was never in Kwangju. The furthest south I was ever able to get to was Suwon. I was in the 2nd Infantry Division, and although I travelled around a lot more than the average US soldier (for fun and for "professional" reasons), it was almost always Seoul and the area between Seoul and the DMZ.

Yup, Flushing. There's a great spicy bean curd soup place right outside the Main St subway if you're ever interested in lighting your asshole on fire. Did you get to see a lot of the sights while you were in Korea?

>>Did you get to see a lot of the sights while you were in Korea?<< Lot's of temples and palaces. I noted the plaques in front of many read like this: Built in... Burned by the Japanese in .... Rebuilt in .... Burned by the Japanese in... Rebuilt again in... etc. Lots of animosity. Also, the brand new 69 story Daewoo tower, the park in Seoul with the national library and the huge nearby open air market*(was it Namdaemun? I forget) the gates in Seoul and other landmarks, various mountains, one historic village, and more. I think I covered the northern part of the ROK pretty well. Being a city guy, I liked Seoul. Nice subways. Funny story about the market, which is evidence that there are two very different sides of Korean culture, one modern, one traditional, and they don't always agree. In one part of the market, people were selling live turtles. I mentioned this to two Korean friends. The modern Korean said: "Pets" The traditional Korean said "Food" .
