Lost in Translation... and Gunsan

At one point in time, everyone in the world spoke the same language.  Sweet!  I'm sure this made a lot of things easier.  Unfortunately, God saw that it made man's most natural act too effective - sinful pride and arrogance  (You can read the history of this here.) - and now here we are with a plethora of languages.  I for one have a really hard time learning other languages, but I've met people that were naturally talented with learning the speak another language.  I would say those people could make a lot of money helping to translate for those that aren't so good at it.

During our time in Japan we often would go to the mall and see the work of those that didn't translate so well on the t-shirts of the Japanese people.  I doubt Candi and I were successful in not letting people know we weren't laughing at them, ... just their clothing choice.  Three of most memorable ones were:

"The fields are alive with raped flowers."

"Diamonds are my favorite partner."

"F#%@ You."

Korea has it's share of frustrated or mis- translations.  While out on the town one night a group of us stumbled upon a shopping district that we hadn't seen before.  It proved an interesting night, to say the least.  Behold...

 "Hey good lookin', what'cha got cookin'?"
