Happy Lunar New Year dayo

Long long time ago Japan also do Lunar New Year, now just known as the "Old New Year" or "旧正月". Until one day it just happened that it would be more conventional to follow the solar calendar rather than lunar.

日本語 + 韓国語 + Lee's English 国際交流

Lee is a funny korean guy at taka.
Lee, Yoko and myself will often end up throwing up all our intestines from excessive laughter, a non-curable disease, highly contageous.

Lee keeps getting amazed at the similarity in the language between Japanese and Korean...

Aquarium in Japanese is Sui zok kan 水族館
Aquarium in Korean is Su zok gwan
Aquarium in Lee's English is Fish House

Giraffe in Japanese is Kirin キリン
Giraffe in Korean is also Kirin
Giraffe in Lee's English is Long Neck

Calculator in Japanese is Kei San Ki 計算機
Calculator in Korean is Kae San Ki
Calculator in Lee's English is Electronic Number

Once Lee was telling about this Korean dish. I asked what was in it.. he said Dok Dok..
Naturally I thought he was saying DOG since they eat dogs in korean anyway.
Ends up he was trying to say DUCK.. I was wonderin where he was gonna get a DOG to eat as soon as he suggested that he will cook for me n Yoko...
