Some embarassments are best kept in the vernacular. I think the Hani’s decision to publish in English will backfire. Some embarassments are best kept in the vernacular.

With your being signed on, I guess my career as the Marmot's World Cup commentator has been cut short. Considering how I did with the Korea-Togo game, that is probably a good thing.

I'm a girly-girl at heart and don't really care about football that much, but found myself going to your blog to read about the games I slept through the night before. Looking forward to more posts!

All hail the innovators! http://english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/e_international/132234.html i hope that, along with updating readers on the games themselves, that you’ll be offering regular updates on the much more important and relevant story of the World Cup…which is how the Korean street cheering is taking over the world.

and finally there’s the worldwide phenomenon that “Daehanminguk!” has become….with nearly all 6.5 billion people screaming it in unison every hour on the hour…it makes one proud to be a loyal minion of our great Korean overlords.
