More Comparisons
I have commented before on Koreans’ endless need to compare its places and people to OTHER places and people, seemingly in an effort to give some validity to the Korean situation.
But THIS… This has just crossed the line well into absurdity:
“Park Jin, a two-term lawmaker of the main opposition Grand National Party (GNP), might as well be called the Joschka Fischer of South Korea.”
WHAT?
“Only, Park hasn’t experienced the yo-yo syndrome Fischer did _ and doesn’t intend to, either.”
HUH?
“And the 49-year-old politician confessed that the German foreign minister of the Green Party, who is also well-known in Korea for the translated version of his book, “Nanun Dalinda (I Run),’’ gave him constant food for thought while on his diet program.”
Whatever.
