Netizen fatigue

The word 'netizen' is an English word loved in Korea although it's not a Konglish which means localized English only understood by Koreans. The word 'netizen' was invented by a 23 year old Michael Hauben but now the term is most frequently used in Korea.

At first, the word was used to describe the people who use internet. Today this usage is no longer valid because practically all active Korean population is using internet. Now the word is used to designate people who vocalize in the cyber world. The image of the word becomes increasingly negative due to the erratic behavior of the netizens.

A good UN Secretary-General

A new UN Secretary-General will be appointed in 2007. Here is my take on the qualification for the job.

 

Kofi Annan, 7th Secretary-General of the UN 

Korean JPO test

I had a really tough week. Now I thank this week finally has finished. I had to take two tests for five days and encountered two unusual and unpleasant accidents during the week. One test was JPO (Junior Professional Officer) for the United Nations and the other was National Urban Planner License Exam which took place today. I surely had a lot of stress but I can't easily expect success because my preparation was not enough for both of the exams.

JPO is a special internship program of the UN but it is financed by national governments.  UN internship is a shortcut for regular jobs in the UN but the poor UN never pays interns. Many nations want more of their nationals work in the UN, so they select JPOs and pay them instead of the UN.

La confession de Sa Majesté

(Click here for automatic translation in English.)

Le prince Henri, époux de la reine de Danemark a avoué qu’il mange du chien selon le journal britannique, The Times.

Il a dit “J’ai trouve le goût du chien quand j’étais au Vietnam dès le jeune age.” Il a même recommandé de goûter du chien.

(comme attendu) Les protecteurs européens des animaux ont critiqué sa remarque. Quelques gens ont dit que la disparition d’un teckel en 1991 dans la cour danoise aurait se passé dans la cuisine du palais.

Un protecteur danois des chiens a commenté: “Prince Henri vient de France. Les français mangent des choses bizarres comme du cheval et de l’escargot.”

An impressive move from Korean government

I was worried that the fast made policies regarding half-blood children from Ward's visit would be soon forgotten after his departure. I was happily wrong this time. The government presented some impressive and radical (in Korean standard) policy measures on 26 April.

The meeting participated by the President concerned mainly familial support for marital immigrants. The meeting produced following proposals.

1. Familial allowance and medical service will be offered to foreign brides even before they acquire Korean nationality.

2. The illegal activites of marriage brokers will be dealt with by amending International Marriage Law.

3. Hotline (1366) and shelters will be made for foreigners.

4. Anti-Discrimination Act will be enacted.

5. The text books stressing Korea as a pure blooded nation and containing racial discrimination will be modified to be multi-cultural and respecting human rights.

6. The word "mixed-blood person(혼혈인)" will be changed to a more politically correct one.

7. The children between Koreans and non-Koreans living in overseas, notably Korean-Vietnamese, will be able to get Korean nationality a lot easier.

(The above policies were translated from this article.)

inconvenience of two Koreas

Many South Koreans say they feel sad or strange when they are asked from which Korea. It happens when they go abroad. When asked of the origine, they say just "Korea" most time. For them, the only valid Korea is South and North Korea is a country in oblivion. (North Korea is an important news source but ordinary people can't feel the country because there's little exchange between two nations. Very few North Koreans around and no North Korean products.) The practical reason may be there's very few North Koreans abroad. As a North Korean, you should be a really special person to be abroad. You should be either someone who will never betray North Korean regime or who already betrayed it. So South Koreans think there shouldn't be any North Korean around them wherever they are.

China, Korea and Japan

CKJ have lived together more than 2000 years. The exchange between three countries was less intense than that of among European countries but it is ever growing today. These countries (3 in perception but 5 in reality) were grouped in different ways. 

1. CKJ

2. CK and J

3. C and KJ

4. CJ and K
