From the Chosun Ilbo:
| Quote: |
Why Do Koreans All Live in Palaces and Castles?
"I thought all Koreans students were really rich. They all lived in addresses with names like 'castle' or 'palace,'" says an American who has been teaching English at a university in Seoul for seven years. "Tra-Palace," "Lotte Castle" or "Royal County" were some of them. "I finally asked my students and discovered that they were brand names of apartments." |
Please tell me that it's a typo in the first sentence. Also, I'm not the brightest on my best of days ... but I hope the American wasn't serious.
Also...I sure wish Korean papers would use names instead of nationalities when referring to us Waegookins. Koreans are usually clearly identified as "Mr. Kim", so I don't see why the Smith clan can't get some major publicity in Korea. |

| Well, since you've asked nicely; it's a typo and the American wasn't serious. |

| Is the building large and made of stone? Is there a guard posted at the entrance? Then by all means it's a castle! |
