hmm interesting… ran into any robots lately?
yada yada~ yes, korea is NUMBER 1…have you gone golfing there? it’s insane…i heard instead of caddies, you have robots! what good is technology when only a few elites get to enjoy it? life sux for the working class in han kook. sorry, for the long rant…have a great week!
yeah…separation between upper and lower class here is probably HUMONGOUS. if people wnat to keep spending on a new phone every 12 wks, they can go right on ahead ^^ the investors in NEW YORK and AMERICA would love Korea for that.
I’m not sure why America’s cell phones aren’t as good as those overseas. It’s always like that with electronics. The stuff abroad is better.
technology these days. crazy! i wish we had better cell phones here. even though mine broke i try to get something nicer, but didn’t have much options to choose from. oh well! have a good one!
maybe u stole the authors idea…hahaha
