at 9am sharp today i started getting flooded with phone calls from random korean people. normally I answer unknown numbers in english so if they're looking for someone else they know right away, but these people were very persistent and either would keep going in korean, or would hang up and call me right back turns out that a public service center somewhere had added my number to their phone tree by mistake. if they had just listed my number publicly, people probably would have caught on immediately, but they had to navigate an automated menu first before being connected to me, which explains why they were so persistent after being connected. we managed to reach someone to fix it within a couple of hours but that was weird

Beeftweeter posted:fun fact: "australia" in korean is "hoju" apparently it comes from the japanese ho-su-to-ra-ri-a, but yeah when you hear it at first you wonder how that happened always wondered why america is "miguk" and how it came to be one of the like 8 countries with a korean name

mystes posted:I don't know Korean but n Japanese 豪州 ("goushuu" although it's almost never spoken and the normal word is オーストラリア ("ousutoraria")) means australia (derived from an older phonetic version of australia in kanji from when japanese did that) and I think it's probably just the Korean pronunciation of those hanja (well technically I guess 濠州 because Japan changed the character later to simplify it or whatever) rather than a direct Korean borrowing of ousutoraria you could be right, i'm far from an expert.

bob dobbs is dead posted:as a foreigner you get to opt out of 90% of the dipshit bullshit. as an ethnic korean person i dont. also the pay tops out at like 150 million krw tops for peeps who would be gettin paid 600k usd in american figgielands and cost of living is more comparable than you would think for non healthcare poo poo so lol korea is a cost-of-living utopia compared to canada i figure we're saving at least $4k/mo living here just from rent, childcare (free!), and goods generally being cheaper and higher quality. heck even the first year of my car insurance with zero recorded history in korea was cheaper than my car insurance in canada with several accident-free years (and now it's less than a third of that) also tax is way lower due to everything being deductible. like... everything. everything you buy is a tax deduction. we hired a professional to do our taxes and when they showed me the total i thought they were committing fraud.

i went to this one cocktail bar in ginza one time. i think the name was masq. it was 2000 yen a cocktail, but the bartender was some sort of mixology master and all the special cocktails required a unique contraption to make. like one of them had this hinged wooden box and dry ice and I guess that chilled everything just right? it was, by several levels, the best drinks i've ever had and i've never seen anything like it since.

imagine you're in this dimly lit underground joint at 1am and you order the house special and this guy pulls out a 5 foot tall science kit from under the bar and starts smoking out the place then hands you the best gin and tonic you've ever had

Raluek posted:that’s weird, is Korea a special case? normally, Costco memberships work worldwide they sell their own memberships but I believe foreign memberships still work. although they only take cash or their proprietary credit card fun fact: if you went to a costco food court about five years ago, you'd see at least half the people there eating "costco kimchi", which wasn't really kimchi at all but an entire plate full of hotdog condiments mixed together. they finally cracked down on that. i went there last week and they had a ~$220k diamond ring just there on the floor right next to the entrance lol  costco korea isn't as great as us/canada though. for one, the grocery stores don't gouge you as much here, so most stuff isn't way cheaper (or in some cases, any cheaper) than you'd get normally online.
