 Oh, I was wondering why he wanted candy stripers here..
And I thought this country was only 25% x-tian not 50%. And those who are still do ritual burial mounds and ancestor worship anyway... |

Because that was then, and this is now. Also, as another poster noted, Japanese cars are better.
Using logic in your quote, I would like to know th following:
Why should Chinese buy Japanese products?
Why should Americans buy Japanese products?
Why should Jews buy German cars?
And so on |

You obviously haven't seen my girl friend then. Her beauty is epic like the tail of a comet and there are many more knock outs where I live (which everybody knows is Pohang). |

Drakoi and Seoultrader:
Sorry about the spelling mistakes, I'm not the best speller, but hey I don't think I will ever spell s-t-r-i-p-p-e-r-s wrong again.
A Christitan told me that Korea was 50% Christian so that could well be wrong, and I totally agree about these Chrisitians that have all these budahist and confusion traditions, but hey I'm an athiest so if they don't bother me I won't bother them. What percentage are Mormons? |

Things that may never catch on?
How about the ability to speak English? Bless' em for trying though.
Interest and appreciation for foreign people and things?
The idea that where a person is from matters little?
The idea that "inter-racial" relationships and marriages are OK?
Age being considered not really important. |

I've seen a number of Japanese cars here but I've yet to see a left-side steering one. All the ones I see are right-hand drivers directly brought over from Japan, i.e., privately or through private dealers and not through official dealerships. Driving a right-hander in a right-side nation is not a fun mix, but I guess some people will do anything for a status symbol (or to have something different).
However, there is one major exception: Lexus. Toyota's upscale brand has really taken off since it arrived. I think the reason is clear--the nation recognition, or lack thereof in this case. Ask a Korean who makes Lexus and most will not say Japan, if they have any clue at all. Even Toyota knows enough not to market their regular brand here. |

Has using the term "Jap" become acceptable? I know it's probably an honest mistake on your part, komtengi, but "Jap" is considered a pretty mean racial slur.

| Very informative, psychedelic. Koreans are bad drivers, etc? Hmm. I had never heard any of that before. Thanks for opening my eyes. |
