				| The dateline says this was posted on March 31, 2015, but I'm thinking it was posted one day too early, if you know what I mean. If you have any doubts, wait until you read the last two paragraphs!

				| Guessing/hoping this isn't real, a la Onion.  (Had me until Youseokdong, surprised the official isn't named You BeomSeok) 
 It makes sense, since we all know for a fact that there aren't ANY gay people in Korea.  They don't want to be a 'gay tourist hub'.  Makes perfect sense.
   
 Guess you didn't take John Oliver's pledge?  Good one.

				| Would 베리빅개동 be better?  I mean, with a longer  name, it might seem so impressive  that it would be a success.  I am sure this is a hard  job, but  someone has to come  up with names that can not be taken the wrong way. |  |

				| If they go after anything, I would think they'd start in Jeju.  서귀포시 just jumped right out at me the first time I visited. |  |
