I assume it's schwa. Am I wrong?
(edit: Forgot about mysteriousdeltasprays. Anyone been here longer than him?)
Anyone still around who can remember Korea like this?
English Map of Kyonggi-do 1969
From Neil Mishalov's excellent website. Wander through his picture library some time. For those who've seen it, he updated last month. |

| Some nice photos there. I am sure there are very few of that quality from that era around. |

| I know of one poster who came in the late 80s or so, and a banned poster who went to middleschool here. |

| I know someone who has been here since the 1980s, but he never reads this board much less posts here. |

| I know one person who came in 1983 but doesn't even know what daves cafe is. I also know another person who came in 1986, but I am unsure if he reads this board. |

| I came in March of '94, got kicked out in September and returned in June of '95. Decided I'd had enough last December but realized when I got home that I'd only had enough of that boss and returned last month. I count that as 10 years. |

Well, there's me for one. Came thiiiiiiiis close once, though. (*thumb & forefinger nearly touching*) Quite fathomable really.
I had thought my first visit to Korea (on business, not to live semi-permanently as I eventually did) predated MDR's arrival, but I'm not sure. I'd say he and a few other posters probably have me beat in total years in country. |

Sorry, Rudolph. I had you in mind when I posted schwa ~~~  Is that eight straight? If you went back across the water tween 99-01 I may know you. Do you work 'behind' a very tall building in Chongno 3ga? |

Skinhead thanks for the tip that Neil Mishalov updated his site- I love his photos

EDIT- although I can't link to them properly, what's the deal there? |
