HFLC breakfast

Here's a typical HFLC breakfast... kinda looks similar to my last meal. This time its samgyupsal (a much fattier cut of pork). for breakfast instead, all the other ingredients the same as yesterday... and still the same taste.. YUM

living in a box

I live in a box, so do you. We commonly refer to it as our thoughts, ideas, brains. Whatever is going on upstairs in your head controls you, just as what is going on upstairs controls me, and everyone else. The question rarely asked is.. who is the master that makes the grass green?

 Goodnight

EDIT: I was hammered when I wrote this, so take it fwiw

starting from €16

i'm totally broke and recently got 16€ free as part of a bonus payout from an old site last week, so ive decided to just play with that and try to build up from the lowest stakes 2nl, im now at 82€ and am starting to play 4nl. I don't play much poker anymore and with having a job teaching English these days i dont have much time for it, so i guess i might be able to play around 25hours a month tops. its nice to start from nothing (the 16€ was free afterall) and just see what happens. i reformatted my pc before i came out to korea so i dont have graph or stats yet, but when im at 20nl or something i will download HEM and post some interesting hands, until then its not worth posting hands in my opinion cos these nanostakes are easy, just wait for good hands and bet for value, simple. I'm going out to learn some more korean, i expect I will be posting again in a couple of hours some new words and phrases in Konglish

Konglish

I've been trying to learn Korean. According to other waygooks here the reading is apparently 'the easiest' and you should learn that first. I think I would like to learn Hangul (Korean Alphabet) to a good standard after a few more months of being here. However from my own experience as an auditory learner I find it much better and more practical to learn how to say what you actually want to say, rather than learning different vowels and consonants and then saying words as you read them and sounding strange. There are people who have been here for ages and they speak terribly and say 'well I can read', as if it is some kind of vindication for sounding like a moron. Moreover, reading and having an impact upon the world around you are two different things entirely. For instance, imagine if everyone spoke English in just syllables and very slowly... it wouldn't be very much use when trying to do practical things like, dating, speaking with strangers, getting around, ordering food etc - I found the same true for Thai; it was much better to learn what to say and how to say it clearly and proficiently in the right situations - rather than having a vast vocabulary of practically useless words that are not important to getting what you want out of life. I've been seeing copy-bird for a few weeks now and she's been helping learn Korean in a way which fits the above description, learning the important sentences and how to say them quickly and accurately.

Yo - the polite ending to a sentence used with strangers and older people and used in formal occasions and situations
Ann yong ha say yo -  Hello
Ann Yong he jewmu say yo - good night
Ann yong he ka say yo - Good bye! (Saying goodbye to a person leaving)
Ann yong he geh say yo - Good bye! (Saying goodbye as the person leaving)
Nah jung ee bo say yo - See you later
Doh man na say yo - See you soon
Jal jin neh shas oh yo - How do you do?
Jal jin nehs oh yo - I'm fine thanks
Ee rumi oh dokkhay doh say yo - What is your name?
Ee rumi mo ah ya - Whats your name? (informal)
Neh - Yes
Anni-o - No
Gam san me dah - Thank you (Formal)
Go Ma Wo - Thank you (informal)
Chon man eyo - You're welcome
Chile hab ne da - Excuse me
Me an hay (ne da) - I'm sorry (formal)
Kin chan ayo - No problem/Don't worry/Forget it
Hajima -Stop!
Noor - You
Na ga - Get out!
Arayo - I understand/I know
Ap jok - forward
Oran jok - right
Wen jok - left
Dwea jok - back/behind
Durah sohk - turn around (the K is almost silent, strange when its at the end, but imagine our words with silent letters as a comparison)
Keh Sohk - Keep going
Ka odi es eye yo - Where is the...?
Gi cha yok - railway station
Hi cha yok ka odi es eye yo - Where is the railway station? Literally Railway station, where is the?
Jo nun yong gook eh soh waz eyo - I come from England
Oppa - Older Brother (basically older friend, male)
Nuna - Older sister (Older friend, female
Omaar - Mother

il 1
Ee 2
Sam 3
Sah 4
Oh 5
Yuk 6
Chil 7
Pal 8
Cue 9
Ship 10

Hana - One thing (for example, Hana mek ju se yo - one bottle of beer please)
Dugeh - Two things
Segeh - Three things
Negeh - Four things
Dah sot geh - Five things
Your sot geh - Six things
Il gop geh - Seven things
Your tol geh - Eight things
Ah hop geh - Nine things
Yoll Geh - Ten things (remember that the things are interchangeable, for example - Your sot geh tam bay ju say yo - 6 packets of cigarettes please
