   Interesting section on women in the Koryo period and the role of religion.

   Argh, I’d be all over it if I could read Korean! I don’t suppose theres any chance of an English translation?

   Yeah, I might translate some of them, time permitting. Of course, then you run the risk of having to read something I’m interested in, which is bound to be something lame, such as “Fortress Construction During the Chosun Dynasty” or the like.

   Tarion,

   Here’s a util that says it can be used to view and print HWP files without the prog. I’ve never used it, but it looks to be what you need.

   Note to Jing:

   You would also have to read translations with romanizations like “Chosun,” as in the hotel and newspaper.

    I read the part about the Imjin War. The part about the corrupt and weak Chosun government of that time, it eerily reminds me of Korea today.

    OK, if you’re going to jump in and claim Yi Sun Shin was another Korean hoax and that Hideyoshi Japan invaded Korea to free Koreans , then don’t bother (you know who you are).

    Someone needs to tell the ‘Korean History Project’ to stop using fake and misattributed photographs of ‘Japanese atrocities’.

    Totally off-topic here, but has anyone tried out http://www.pubsub.com/ ? It’s a free search engine for blogs and newsgroups. I typed “North Korea” into it and got zilch…maybe someone else had better luck?
