Anyway, I have a language learning blog, and I've just made some Korean alphabet charts, and now I'm giving them away to people who have blogs about Korea. <br /><br />You can grab them here and post them on your site for free (the two charts on the bottom) http://www.speakoutlanguages.com/korean-chart/<br /><br />If you don't mind, I'm just asking for a link back to the original page.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />RyanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728353792050941578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8154452806180550551.post-48357786714019506352013-05-31T15:11:54.001-07:002013-05-31T15:11:54.001-07:00Obviously, but that doesn't mean that it isn&#...Obviously, but that doesn't mean that it isn't nice to not experience that in Korea.<br /><br />Also, you should also be aware that I have experienced similar behaviour to Indonesia in Italy, which has fairly equivalent GDP PPP to South Korea. And I never experienced it in Nicaragua, which is far poorer than Indonesia. Thailand, which has similar levels of wealth in the same region, was also much better in that department. Read into that what you will, but I think it isn't all about money.<br /><br />This also doesn't mean that I hate any of these countries; I have a fondness for Italy like no other country in Europe outside my own, for example. I was merely stating the nice bits about Korea.Smudgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449129060365290678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8154452806180550551.post-76725943183135933452013-05-31T09:33:12.579-07:002013-05-31T09:33:12.579-07:00"I took a trip to Indonesia and I was constan..."I took a trip to Indonesia and I was constantly disappointed by how many times someone would start a friendly conversation with me that always, in the end, turned out to be an emotional blackmailing tactic for me to buy something off of them.
