Well, as long as someone brought up the subjects of names and oriental
languages....  :-)

On my recent trip to Korea I did get nametags amde that have my name
in both English and Korean.  Not a lot of value, but they make a nice
souvenier.

Actually, I even sent a few postcards home with Thanksgiving (Chusok
actually) Greetings written in Korean.  I was amazed at easy it was
to learn to write some simple phrase in Korean.  Of course I also
learned that like Chinese Korean is another language where they don't
use one word where they can use a paragraph.  :-)
