I hope your life continued to improve after your mission. It was two of the best years of my life but life just keeps getting better and better! (even without the church).

I hope you also read my story:

Hi Brother!?
I was reading your post it made me miss my mission and at the time when i was at the MTC, It was the best time of my entire life, When i got home from my mission, i had way hard time i got to think i should remove my name from the church, but i said a prayer then at that moment the Lord was still talking to me. So you know what i meant?. I hope you dont mind. Pray is the only reason i believe in God, also it helped me came to know about my Savior. May the lord bless you.

I don’t have any of the details of where I stayed on me, I walked around and called the owners of the various apartment buildings until I found the cheapest place~

Hi Matt,
I will be an exchange student at SNU as of March 2012. I was doing some research on google for accommodation, and was redirected here. nice blog, btw!
As I was put on the waiting list for a room on-campus, I have to do the research on my own: so, may I ask you where you were living while in Seoul? I read you moved out of the provided off-campus housing?
Thanks in advance for your help!

안녕하세요.
만나서 반갑습니다. Youtube에서 한국사람들이 영어할때 하는 실수에 대한 것을 보고 찾아왔어요.
보면서 많이 공감됐고, 영어할 때 더 조심해야겠다고 생각했어요. 특히 r/l은 많이 틀리는 부분이거든요. it is wrong/it is long. 이라고 바꿔 말하거나, 실수를 해도 실수 한지 모를때도 더 많은 것 같아요.
지금은 영어로 공부하고 있는데, 이런 팁들이 많은 도움 될 것 같아요. 더 있다면 알려주세요~

한국말 너무 잘해서 깜짝 놀랐어요. 한국말 공부도 응원할께요!

그럼 좋은 하루 되세요!

Comment on North Korean Propaganda Series: Supreme Leader Kim Jong-il by Sonja

Sonja — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 15:38:16 +0000

“Recently, the April issue of N. Korean photo magazine ‘Chosun’ reported that a boy triplet were named ‘chong, pok, tan’(translator’s note: chong-pok-tan means ‘gun-and-bomb’, chong means a gun, pok-tan means a bomb. As a separate syllable, pok means explosion, and tan means a shell) It was featured as an example of a loyalty oath to Kim Jong-il, in the spirit of ‘defending the General(Kim Jong-il) to death.’ ‘Chong-pok-tan’ is a typical slogan for promoting Kim Jong-il worship. The slogan implies the readiness to sacrifice oneself for Kim Jong-il as his ‘gun-and-bomb’(chong-pok-tan.)” This is what I found on “총폭탄”. Great blog! Thanks

I didn’t know where to post this so I’ll just do it here. Did you watch the stuff VBS shot in North Korea?

Journey through Korea: http://www.vice.com/the-vice-guide-to-travel/vice-guide-to-north-korea-1-of-3 (3x 20min)

“North Korean Film Madness”: http://www.vbs.tv/watch/the-vice-guide-to-film–2/north-korean-film-madness-full-length (20min)

I thought it was pretty interesting. I recommend watching the “Film Madness” part first.
