Just to clarify, no, it is NOT considered rude to belch near a Korean person putting up a "lost dog" poster, although if it's a medium or large size breed they lost, (and large breeds are rare, anything bigger than Cocker Spaniel size is considered too big to live with comfortably in most cities,) you might in fact make them cry. The popular breeds are Maltese, Pekes, Yorkies and such. (Deters indiscriminate snacking, one can only imagine.) While exploring a while back, I did come across what I could only presume was a dog farm, the barking was pretty intense, and the cover was fairly deep. I can only think that delicacy or not, it's not a particularly honorable kind of farming, even in Korea. Either that, or they're just keeping a low profile for security reasons. Hey, if Dog is that hot a menu item, who knows what some people will do to get some! Heck, I was surprised the first time I saw a piece on the news about prisons in Korea. (and no jokes about Korea being a prison, I'm way ahead of you there. Reminds me of the smart-ass crack I made to a journalism cohort in college about Cleveland being the world's largest *un*walled prison, but that's a story for another time.) And you simply haven't lived till you've witnessed a Cockapoo with its ears dyed Hot Pink. Perhaps they're around in America, and I've simply been in the wrong neigborhoods, but it was quite the sight to me. And, as you might envision, well, I know *I* have yet to see a convertible in Korea, such is their distaste for the sun. And, although I've probably mentioned it, the two things I'd line up to get in America if I could, would be shrimp burgers and chocolate-flavored Chex cereal from Kellogg's. Seems to me Kellogg's is missing the marketing boat with that oversight, big-time! More when more is called for, or when I forget what the hell I wrote here.
