Geez... the toilets at Public schools are still stinking and dirty places....

Maybe Koreans wish to catch up with the Japanese - who are famous for being very sanitary and loving their toilets - Japan does seem to have the best and cleanest toilets....

Proper sanitation (the toilet included) is man's second greatest invention (after the printing press). It has saved more lives than any other human invention in history.

TigerI think you and I are the are only people into Google Earth. I'm fascinated by the thing. It never ceases to blow my mind.

You look at the cities in Eastern China it is like the Jettsons.

Somebody told me you were leaving Korea a few weeks ago. "Gossip" I' m glad you are still here.

Google Earth is very cool, you turned me on to it. It is very cool! I was really bombed and crashed on your floor. You just came in tuned it in. It was like six in the morning or something. You are an interesting guy

Spain needs an agricultural program doesn't it? Gee maybe we could look at Google Earth and discover what the problem is.

Maybe no paved roads etc.

I just asked a teacher if this was also her belief... She said, "I don't think so."

It must be a rare ideal of a magic birth.

I would not mind being the very first renter of his new house of course were this the case I may well be tempted to ingest tons of salsa and nachos which might have him working hard to swish his white gods.

You are correct, sir.


What does that say about popular Korean culture in that a lot of restaurants do not have soap in restrooms for their patrons?
