it’s really a shame that people make the kind of comments they make re dr hwang’s breakthrough. people should understand that the good doctor has taken us ten years closer to the day we might be able to grow our own tissue to replace parts of our body that are riddled with our mortal enemy, cancer.

hwang may very well win a nobel in science for this as he should. not because he’s korean, but because he’s moved us a step closer to closing in on a killer.

dogs are not man’s equal. it’s bankrupt to say otherwise. cloning dogs is not cloning human beings.

great preview function, marmot.

Curious,

OH yeah. I’m sure. The guys I know though, they are in research. So I guess they kinda don’t count? Friend in I-Banking on the otherhand… if he was the puritan sort, drinking would be the least of his worries.

Virtual Wonderer:

But, sad to say, isn’t it a liability if you don’t go out and drink on the hoesiks? It should be okay if you don’t participate in that sort of thing (and I’m speaking as someone who does enjoy the occasional glass or two of hooch), but surely it would be an issue in many (most?) companies?

Actually I know a lot of older Koreans who don’t drink in the same vein of protestant americans during the prohibition years. They don’t go out on company hweshiks. of course they are as few and far between like obese people in the DPRK.

“but, i hate koreans forcing japanese to eat dog.”

I’ve had Japanese business associates serve me crickets, raw horse meat and crunchy sparrows. The joke was on the Kawasaki guys, who hadn’t had sparrow before, when I heartily downed it, telling them I had already had it in Seoul.

mae : I have also many good experiences with my Japanese friends. hope you will have more good experiences than those bad ones
And as for drinking, all I can tell you that recently that culture is changing rather quickly in younger generation. I’m not sure for the elder case but if you’re with young koreans - in their 20s or 30s - then just express your thought openly and do not drink. Maybe they’ll understand. As a non-drinker like you, it’s my recommendation.

kleintag, thanks for the kind words. i also personally experience a lot of good experience with korean friends and coworkers.

virtual wonderer, for those who cant drink, this is serious issue than my dog-meat incident. you can find such scenes at galbi places around suwon and gumi, not to mention in seoul.
