My cell phone has a rather charming animated cat living in it. It also has a Hangugeo/English dictionary, a subway map, a recording device, two cameras (one facing me and one facing “out”), tools for taking notes… it’s pretty cool. Not to mention a web browser (though this is a bit expensive to use).
It also has a “Korean phrase of the day” feature, which I quote above. Apparently (and allegedly?), this phrase means “I would like to see some beer tankards.” And thus, indeed, I have never felt more equipped to deal with the linguistic and cultural challenges which face me here!
Kind of a lazy Saturday, I confess. My ambition to go into Seoul is to be unfulfilled, I suspect – maybe tomorrow? I know I’ve promised postcards to many, and have as yet sent none. I’m a lousy tourist, in some ways, I know. Sigh?
