2018-05-24 TNKR at KAME

TNKR presented at the 2018 Korean Association for Multicultural Education (KAME). I introduced about TNKR, then TNKR co-founder Eunkoo Lee discussed feedback she has received from refugees in TNKR. One of our speech coaches, Dongkeun Han, was in the audience, so I asked him to come to the microphone.

We were on a great panel: "Changes from North Korea and Voices from North Korean Defectors."

The title of our paper and presentation: "Hello, Konglish!" North Korean Refugees Learning English to Adjust to Life Outside of North Korea.

Michael Vick ain't got nuthin on me!!!

After football player Michael Vick admitted that he had been running a dog-fighting business I wrote that he was an idiot. If he was going to engage in such activity he should have gone to Indonesia or somewhere else. He certainly had the money to do so at that time. If he knew then what he knows now then he would have spent $10 million to run his dogfighting ring in Manila. Today I did something that probably not even Michael Vick ever did: I ate dog meat. I never expected that I would do so. It is a bit scandalous because Koreans don't just kill the dogs and eat them. Rather, they will beat them to death while they are still alive. That allegedly is to get the adrenaline flowing which allegedly makes the meat more tender which allegedly improves a man's stamina. I had told a friend that I wanted to give it a try. But as we sat down to eat I said: "I want to try this but don't give me any details until after we are finished eating." It just looked like regular me...
