Did I dream SJ brought a white cat home tonight?

Did I dream SJ brought a white cat with him home tonight?

'But Emmy, he was crying all alone on the street, so I bought him sausage. And then he followed me here.'

they too tricky these little boxes with all weird letters and sometimes numbers too, what the hell they called I don't know. but they too tricky.

Fuck. I agree with SJ. 'Oh no, it's too difficult!', he exclaimed when he saw this little box with weird letters that you have to type in correct so that the computer can be sure that he is dealing with a real person here. Yeah, why they have to be so freakin' tricky! Sometimes I have to try like three, four times before I get them right.

you don't understand fish

- Hey SJ, I saw two dead fishes in the lake yesterday.
- Yeah, they probably committed suicide. To stressed out by taking care of the family, and they probably overused their credit card, got in debt.
- No, I think there is some kind of disease in the lake.
- You don't understand fish.

YESTERDAY SJ TOLD ME A STORY PART 2


Do you know who the first western in Korea was?

















The first western in Korea was a Dutch man. He was out sailing his ship, following in his contemporaries Vasco da Gama's and Columbus footsteps, in search for yet unexplored countries.
Unfortunately, one day his ship wrecked! The only survivor aboard was our Dutch man,  floating in the vast ocean holding on to a piece of wood from the boat.

At the same time, a Korean fisherman was collecting the days catch, when he suddenly noticed something strange appear in his net. He had caught our dutchie in his net!
- WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! said the Korean fisherman out loud while looking at the Dutch man, mesmerized by his blond hair and blue eyes.
- He must come from the Aqua world! the Korean decided.

As the Korean fisherman reached land, he brought his catch, our Dutch guy, to the Korean king, explaining he caught something that for sure must come from the Aqua world!

The Dutch couldn't make himself understood, and the king, a little bit afraid of this strange creature we can suspect, throw the Dutchie in the dungeon.

 After some time however,  the dutch man was released. And after further time, he found himself integrated into the Korean society. He learned how to speak the Korean language, he married a Korean women, they got children together and so on and so on.

Year after year passed, the dutch was happy in his new country, altough he could never completely really stop thinking, dreaming and longing for,  his native land.

So one day, he noticed some excitement down by the harbor. Driven by his curiosity, that took him out on the ocean in the first place, he went to see what the fuss was about. Turned out, another ship from the Netherlands had reached the Korean coast! Now he could make it back home, back home to the Netherlands!

But as the years had passed, our poor dutchi had forgotten how to speak dutch. He tried to speak to his fellow citizens, he tried to explain to them the tragedy with the wrecked ship so many years earlier, but they wouldn't listen. Becasue they were explorers too. They had left safe Netherlands, to face difficulties and danger, to be at the sea for days and days, sometimes without anything to eat or drink, just for the chance to find an unexplored country, and the fame and glory that would bring with it. Of course they wouldn't listen to a man like the dutch man that was claiming that he was actually first, and stand in the way for all that fortune!

The dutch ship soon returned to the Netherlands with the great news that they had discovered a new country. And they all became rich and famous.

The dutch man was not allowed to enter the ship, and go home after all these years. He lived the rest of his life in Korea. He died with a dream to once again see his native country. But he also died, as the first western in Korea.

YESTERDAY SJ TOLD ME A STORY















  
I love stories, and SJ is full of it. 
Yesterday SJ told me the story about the Korean cookie Choco-pie.

Choco-pie was born allready in the 60’s, and has since then made it's way into most Korean households. The original Choco-pie is made by ORION, but today there are several copycats on the market, such as  well known LOTTE. But Koreans know their Choco-pie, almost every one can tell the difference in a blind-test.

And everyone has heard about "the cookie and the North Korean". In the military in Korea you can eat the Choco-pie cookie for free. And once in DMZ, a South Korean soldier met a North Korean citizen. He was very hungry, and the South Korean wanted to give him something, but all he had was his Choco-pie, so he gave the North Korean his Choco-pie.

The North Korean ate the cookie, and was very impressed by it’s taste. He started to feel that he really wanted to feel that taste again. So he escaped, he survived the mines and he passed the military zone, and he made it to Seoul. Several years later he was asked, what made you escape?
- I really wanted to eat Choco-pie again!

Hmmmm, when I think about it this story is almost too good for the Choco-pie companies not to be made up by them! Like the IKEA- story, it’s all made up.
But on the other hand, the cookie - story is too good to be made up to! If it is made up to sell more Choco-pies, I would like to know who came up with the idea, it's great PR!
