I’m imagining the genesis of this job.
Mr. Boss Ajosshi-nim: We here that Turkey is an important country.
Kim Hyuck: Really? I’ve never heard of it.
Mr. Boss Ajosshi-nim: They don’t have a 5,000 year history and four seasons like Korea, but they have money.
Kim Hyuck: Ah.
Mr. Boss Ajosshi-nim: We need a voice recording. What language do they speak in Turkey?
Kim Hyuck: Um… Turkey language?
Mr. Boss Ajosshi-nim: Yes! Turkey language. We need someone to make a voice recording in Turkey language. Preferrably someone who understands English and Korean.
Kim Hyuck: When do you need this, Mr. Boss Ajosshi-nim?
The Seoul city government, in response to complaints about the phone translation service being ineffective, is planning to launch a call-only foreigner taxi service, which will include 1,000 vehicles with drivers speaking multiple languages. Oh, and they also will charge 20 percent more than other taxis.
We talked a bit about it when we recorded the SeoulPodcast last night, which should be out by this weekend.
Is this a welcome boon for tourism? Is it another one of city hall’s boneheaded ideas?

Karl Mamer came up with a great idea. Take those pretentious, annoying and totally unfunny Ssomi & Hobo comics and have some fun with them. The trick is, you gotta leave the moral at the bottom intact.

Things will be a little freaky this weekend, as I’m moving all the ZenKimchi sites to a newer and hopefully faster and more stable server. New redesign for the Food Journal, too.
Brian Aylward is a comedian who performs at clubs around Asia. Roger Fusselman mentioned him in a recent SeoulPodcast episode. The first third to half of it on teaching in Korea is gold.
ZenKimchi was started as a few emails back to my family while leaving for Korean in February 2004. Since then, it has grown to contain three separate blogs, some major media attention, and it has helped me make a lot of new and interesting friends. I hope you enjoy using this blog as much as I have enjoyed making it.
Thank you to everyone who has helped with putting this site together and who continue to make it grow. If you wish to have your blog added to ZenKimchi, email me a zen_at_zenkimchi.com.
