* Click on the answer that best defines the word.
* If you get it right, you get a harder word. If wrong, you get an easier word.

poor nongshim…

I’m sure everyone’s heard of the mouse head in shrimp cracker bag incident by now.

we all use chopsticks, but we’re not all the same

It’s spring break! Well, it’s been spring break for a while; I just haven’t had a chance to write in my blog until now … I just came back from Japan yesterday, and I really don’t want to think about going back to school on Monday. I went to Hong Kong over winter [...]
