na-noon han-kook-mal ja-moot-he. yu-ja-ching-oo ga han-gook sa-dam ee-yo. moo-sun cha-jang-goo ta-me-da?

Here go my translation skills:

"Mikorp! I like Korean language. But I can only speak a little of it."

Jay, I'm going to need to get that store info from you as i'm due for a family visit to Korea soon.

francy - well done. I lived there for a year. Taught myself the alphabet and picked up a few choice words here and there.
Now, help me with mikorp's mastery...

Im with Fugazi Dave hot hot hot!

I'm cheating. my wife is korean. want to pick up the language as my new son learns it.

Here we go 165:

"I can't speak Korean that well. My girlfriend is a Korean person. What kind of bike do you ride?"

It can get a little tricky cause everyone has a different way of English phonetic translation of the Korean alphabet/language. But I can get the jist of it.

komapsumnida francy!!!!

Mikorp - GanWellPro ja jeon geo is suh!

Noh Yeh Nagasawa: Ul ma yip nee ga? Mi wo yo! Nol la suh cuh pi rul ssot eul bbun haet ssuh yo!

Whoa. This one was a challenge. Here we go:

"Thank you, Francy.

Mikorp - I have a GanWellPro bike.

Your Nagasawa: How much is it? I don't like you! (i can't translate the rest cause i have no clue! haha. either something about being surprised or mixing something or doing #1????)

I give up!
165

S/F,
CEYA!

I will get better again, too much time in Nippon.

S/F,
CEYA!
Mata ne

Mi wo yo = it is beautiful (or my former seveth grade students will suffer my vengeance!!!!).

Nol la suh cuh pi rul ssot eul bbun haet ssuh yo = It is so surprising, I just spilled my coffee!

I am done with Korean for the night. It is making me miss Seoul, Namdaemun, Pu'hkansan Park, Insa-dong and Topkol Park...way too much. Ho-hum...maybe sometime I'll go back.

ok we leave in Feb for two weeks.

S/F<
CEYA!

heck ya - we can hit up the no-rae-bangs and take the velo by storm!!!

165, Mi wo yo means i don't like you.
looks like your former seveth grade students will have to suffer your vengeance.
ee pu dah or ah reum dup dah means beautiful.

here are some pics from Seoraksan, Jagalchi market and Taejongdae in Busan, Chunggaechun near Insa dong in Seoul, and Kimchi chiggae!

clever little bastards!!! hahahaha

I thought "Mi" is part of beautiful...oh well, maybe I need to relearn. (Mi-kook = beautiful country. Mi-kook sa-ram = American. This was obviously stated a long time ago...)

Mikorp - s'all good. Blame my bad friggin Korean.
The Nagasawa is stellar!

Some pics of my time in Korea:

Nam Dae Mun - rode this circle a few times - I think people thought I was trying to commit suicide.


A view of Seoul from Bul'am San


My old street...I miss it so.

Mmmmmm. Kimchi! Kaam-saa-mi-daa Jay!

OK. I found the business card for the shop in Seoul.
Check the attachments.
And if you go there, don't completely wipe out the stock.
I might have to get something the next time I go back.

165, those pictures are great. They've got that hazy look, just like the air in Seoul.

dang! can't wait to travel soon. want to do korea and japan next spring. our movie is screening in tokyo next month at the bike film festival. hope some people get inspired. luv

sounds soooooo fun. hanging out in tokyo at a bike film festival showing your own film... and you know how enthusiastic the fans get over there, have fun!!!
