An Old Temple in my Neighbourhood

[Shinpachi]

Sometimes it's up to us to remind the younger ones, Shinpachi-san
Otherwise, how will they learn?

Hmmm.............too simple to answer.

What you will have to learn first, Dave, about the people in the peninsula would be a very simple fact that they DO hate intervention. Make friends with them first and they will be happy to listen to you anything. This is a basic step I learned in the peninsula.

Osaka under martial law for G20.
All highways and schools are closed.
30,000 officers stand in the street.
People seem to be enjoying this unusual event

How NK saw it - "Our leader is great".



How SK saw it - "Not our business".



Not my business either after all.

'Great Leaders' always grate...

Psychoanalysis of the NK leader.

Why does he change his English interpreters so often.

Premises :

1. He can speak English.

2. His English is not perfect enough to show it in public.

3. He is also not allowed to speak English in public as a proud NK leader


Analysis by SK media

The more he wants to pretend he can speak English, the more severely he checks his interpreter's skills word by word.
Embarrassed by this, interpreter makes mistake unwillingly to be fired.

English is one of the languages in the world as a communication tool but he seems to be thinking it a status symbol as an educated person.
This might be his weak point.

Singapore, Hanoi and Panmunjom.

Only reading is free, Jim.
It's everything for a book though.
