나는 한국어를 조금 밖에 못해요

david sedaris and yeon doo jung

just to mention, david sedaris' new book when you are engulfed in flames contains a great story about his early attempts at learning japanese -- and it's very funny, naturally. it's also something i could relate to, as japanese is another "high-context" language where the subject is often dropped from the sentence, quite like korean.

also new to me this week is the work of artist yeon doo jung (as of this posting, the site is down, but i hope it will be up again soon). in his "wonderland" project, jung takes the crayon drawings of kindergardeners and stages them as photographs. it's truly wondrous.
