Ja, I’d love to come. Only thing is my Bier drinking days are over. I’m some German. I can’t drink bier and I don’t like sauerkraut or sauerbroten. Matches my Korean daughter who won’t eat Kimchi.

I do pray that the Korean do not learn about Bierstube Putches.

Check out the chaos here and here. I tell you that we are certainly looking at an interesting few years for the Korean peninsula here. I wonder what the Norks are currently thinking about the whole deal.

the older “Korean-Germans” are praying in the churches for the safety of the homeland. Younger atheist folks like me are pissed off about this tax-sponsored state-circus initiated by the GNP, MDP, ULD and the independent opportunists of parlament… my prediction is, that the Uri Party will harvest a remarkable victory in the 15th April national assembly election, if the public anger about the political uncertainty due to the impeachment foolishness lasts during the coming weeks.

The Korean colony in Germany is not that large, something about 35000-40000 residents, but I?쨈m not sure. The largest communities live in Berlin, D?쩌sseldorf and Frankfurt/Main. Come to romantic Germany, the biggest beer “Hof” of Europe. I should get money from the German tourist lobby.

the Deutsch is dying in the family. Went to a Wilke family reunion, and all the German speakers were in their 70s. You hit the dialect on the head. The Wilke side of the family settled in the area Catherine the Great carved out of Poland for them. Grandpa’s family is from Prussia.

At one time I thought about visiting the old country with my family and seeing the reaction to my Daughter, Brenda (Sung Mee). I am finding more and more evidence to a large Korean colony in Germany.

How are the Korean-Germans taking the impeachment news?

Woojay knows me and my backround a little. I?쨈m a Korean (kyopo)residing in Germany and because of my biography my German(Deutsch)is on par with the level of a native speaker. Ask Marmot, the owner of this place, I often misuse his comment section for a high number of “correction posts” to fix my numerous English grammar/ spelling mistakes.

I?쨈ve heard that many German immigrants settled in Winsconsin and that Chicago had/ has a huge German-descent community. A friend of mine had worked at a German-language newspaper in Chicago during his overseas university time. I have not the slightest clue, how “Wisconsin Deutch” sounds. Maybe comparable to the dialect of Lower Saxonia (northern Germany)? But I think, we?쨈re getting off-topic here…

I’m still learning my way around the Korean blogs. I was wondering if you were referring to US Republicans or if there was a Korean Republican party. I can assure you, CNN is the LAST source of information people in my GOP circles cite. Also, we call it the Clinton News Network.

Christopher,

San Fernando valley, are you talking Glendale? I’m coming out for Easter to drop a car off for my daughter at USC. I could be in the mood for some bugogi by then, that is IF I get my Zankou chicken first.

Sugar Shin,

What’s with the Deutch-Englisch dictionary? I’m missing the background on your comment. Oh, don’t get me going with the German syntax and accent. It took me years to speak standard American English after growing up in a family that spoke Wisconsin Deutch.

I?쨈m wondering, what you would think about MY spelling desaster? Desaster=disaster? Oh my goodness, I?쨈m going to buy the thickest English-German dictionary available in town, to compete here at this faculty, hahaha.

Stupid assclown.

Woojay — I hope you don’t mind, but I linked to your piece on the impeachment in my post above. It was, simply put, beautiful. For the benifit of English-speakers, I’d love to see that thing translated — there seems to be too much misinformation in the English language press about this whole mess. I’d do it myself (beats translating Chosun Ilbo stuff), but I figure since it’s your stuff, I’d ask you first.

Oh, and BTW, we Republican types don’t usually make it a habit of citing CNN and the WaPo. Nobody takes CNN seriously, and we’re the ones, after all, who coined the term “Pravda on the Potomac” to refer to the later. For better or worse, however, they are some of the most widely read news sources in the English language, so they’re going to be linked regardless of political persuasion.

Dan: I think the Korean community is getting far more respect in LA now than before. Or at least in 92. Heck, here in the San Fernando valley we suddenly have Korean businesses popping up left and right…
