Secrets and presents

 

Frank Worren:Half a million secrets


A very special present this was. How I used to love this page. I might even have sent my own secret to them 200 years ago when I still had secrets

NUFF SAID 3

I have been quiet, I know; it's probably a good thing for everyone. As the old Chinese proverb goes :

"The Mouth is the door to disaster; the tongue is the blade that cuts your own body; if one closes his mouth and hides his tongue, wherever he goes he will be at peace."

Or, how my father used to tell me often:

"En boca cerrada no entran moscas " 

Then again, tampoco comida!!


PS - I have met another oriental - k-crazed woman. She is a colleague from Argentina who, like me, has fallen for the country and the language and is trying to learn it. She suggested I try HelloTalk, an app to practice languages with native speakers from all over the world. My Korean is far from ready for conversation yet, but the app allows you to read plenty of text with translations, as well as to listen to the language before one feels ready for action. 

PSS - it's curious how the addiction goes both ways: Latin and Spanish people are getting obsessed with Korea, Japan and some with China, while they are crazy about us. 

PSS - as it turns out, Korea really is that beautiful in spring :'(

Worth to watch for many reasons, not the least the dialogue.

“Where are your cojones, ingles?”

“Where they should be and where I’d like them to stay”

I don't know how enjoyable the old one was (though I have vague memories of the 1980s actors, I must have watched bits and pieces while staying with my grandparents in Alicante as a small child.), but the new version is promising. 

happy viewing, earthlings!

PS - Yep, having a small break from Kdramas. I never said I didn't also love Japanese paraphernalia!

TRAINS AND BABIES

What do high-speed trains and baby-making have in common? South Korea might just have come up with an answer .😆.


Jokes aside, at this rate booking a table at a restaurant really will be much easier in a few years, between the excess morbidity in most of the planet and this new trend  : 


countries with negative population growth, 2024 



Happy Easter, or holiday season to the earthlings who still celebrate such things. 

안녕 !! <3
