Dong-In Kang
















Wassa~~~~~Waseda fellas!!
Yoroshiku!! I am "Seoul-Chon(in japanese, seoulite who's not married if my self-made word ever makes sense)" called Dong-In Kang. (I've just learned an interesting fact from a TV show today that japanese use almost the same word "chon-ga"as koreans do-which is said to be originated from korean word "chong-gak"(총각)- for "the unmarried men".
Did any of you know about this?

To begin with...
I am a junior student who's a new kid on the block.
My major is law but i am very interested in international politics so i'm double majoring in political science.
The reason of my abrupt join is that i have been very interested in learning japanese culture and the relations of the two countries. It's very delightful to get to know the similarity of the two yet there exists the subtle difference which allures me and provokes my appetite for deeper involvement. These days, lots of issues sprout between Japan and Korea so it's worthwhile to scrutinize those current events to not only understand the reality but also to find our way to further develop our long friendship.

I've been to Japan twice, in the summer of 2004 and 2005 and it became a part of my valuable experience with lotta lessons as well. Those are the pictures taken in Osaka and Tokyo as you may have all recognized^^ i only had the chance to visit big cities like tokyo, kyoto, osaka, kobe with the exception on nikko(which was wonderful) so i'd like to see more of japan when opportunities are granted! Love japanese cuisine and sushi & sashimi are always my favorites~

Also, I have some exchange experience with Waseda undergraduate law students last year. very exciting to have conversations with them in person (with my short japanese^^;;)

Well, these are some of my introduction. I hope we discuss about variety of issues (also about fun episodes and personal chatting, if time allows^^) and hope it contributes to mutual understanding of each other and the establishment of stronger bonds!

    You look sooo Japanese in your pix!
    Your long introduction entry screams out diligence and enthusiasm, which the Japanese friends (especially our cute Mayu) will simply love. : ) I'm glad Jee Haey is friends with you and that she introduced u to a whole bunch of us. Hope you have a lot of fun througout the sessions and get the most out of them as possible. It's too obvious who I am, huh. ^^

    i guess the person who wrote the comment was Kyungeun^^ thanks kyungeun for putting "cute" to my name haha

    hi Dongin^^ its very nice to meet you. and you were waseda students~ haha maybe we must have met somewhere waseda expecially around building 22.

    you look very japanese in your pic as kyungeun told you. well, the word "chonggak(ちょんが)" was originaly from Korea, and it was used in japan. It does exist here in JP even now, however, i guess most of younger people might not know it anymore. maybe only people who talk with gramma or grampa would have ever heard of it. it is used for unmarried guys in japan too^^ but it is sort of rude to say that to real unmarried guys haha

    so you speak japanese~ im happy to have someone speak japanese in your side haha 宜しくお願いします♪
