Thats Mr. Gae to you...
Fujitsu class was back on again this morning and after class I went for NokCha (green tea) with some of the women I train with, during our chitchat the ladies decided I should have a korean name.
Ive been toying with the idea of adapting a korean name for some time but the opportunity has never come up, so I was pleased and honoured that they would suggest it.
After some consultation, they decided I should have the family name of "Gae" of the dog family.
and the first name of "Sae-ki", youthful, childlike.
I understand the dog is a highly revered symbol in the korean culture, and although not one of the chinese zodiac characters apparently almost made it. Anyway the dog represents wisdom, loyalty and (filial peity??) and Sae-ki represents my youthful exuberance.
I am so happy that they would think of me that way, and I'm sure the news will quickly travel through Jechon, and make my stay here all the more enjoyable.
I cant wait for my students to find out!
So here I am "Gae Sae-Ki"
YAY!!!!!!!!

Don't Koreans eat dog for every meal?
That doesn't show much respect to me.
Do you think the old women want to eat you? Metaphorically speaking. Consume your intelligence and good nature.

Yes, koreans eat dog for every meal. They also sleep standing up and their assholes are on sideways.

Where's Austraila? I was looking on the map the other day, and I couldn't find it.
My map was in Korean, though, so maybe that's why I couldn't find it.

They weren't takin' the piss, were they, Simon, because if my kiwi eyes are reading correctly, gae sounds an awful lot like gay (queer). I realize you profess to be in love with S, and that's fine with me, and even if S were a man, I wouldn't care. The point is that you gotta be on the look-out for people who want to label you a fag, and not only label you as such, but trick you into telling everyone, too. Be careful

Australia is in the bottom corner of the map, because it's not important and is full of ciminals. Of course, Britain is top middle. God put it there. So, we, the British, can look down on our loyal subjects.

Name the time and the place. You bald-headed, pot-bellied ponce.
Or, if you prefer, you can catch me at your place, 7pm every Friday, hanging out of your Missus.
