Laughing at foreigners’ fractured English may be a bit puerile, possibly even mean. But hey, the stuff is funny, and the rest of the world gets its revenge whenever we try to speak their funny languages.
In any case, I bring this up because I wish to share with you Mayor Chang-Geun OH’s charming message of welcome to his little island of “mysterious Ulleung-do,” which sits off the coast of Korea, in what the Koreans call the East Sea and the rest of the world calls the Sea of Japan (but that’s a discussion for another time). Never mind why I was looking up Ulleong-do. Just enjoy, and sic.:
