The following Bangkok Post letter is to show that you cannot 
always believe in every story we wrote but if a mistake is found, 
we are not so hubris not to publish it.
     Bangkok Post has several supplements apart from three daily 
sections: News, Business and Outlook. On Monday, we have 
Investment and Property. On Wednesday, we have Post Database 
(about computer and technology). On Thursday we have Horizons 
about news from other regions of Thailand. On Friday we have 
Motoring. On Sunday we have Perspective.
     Apart from these, we have Shipping section on Monday, Wed and 
Fri.
  -- kamol notes
 
SIR: I am writing in reference to the article in Horizons on December
17, 1992 describing images of the Lord Buddha within Amanpuri. This
report is clearly very damaging to the reputation of both AMANPURI and
AMANRESORTS.
 
The facts contained in this article are erroneous and I wish to point
these out as follows:
 
1. Amanpuri Hotel does not use Buddha images as mere decorations.
 
2. There are no headless Buddha images in the hotel.
 
3. Statues of the Lord Buddha do exist within the private homes over
which the resort has no control. However, even in the private homes,
the headless torsos are Hindu-Khmer and not those of the Lord Buddha.
 
4. Buddha images adorning hotel guest rooms, swimming pool and lobby
are pure fiction as a visit to Amanpuri can readily testify.
 
5. The private home of the owner is just a private home -- not a VIP
building for foreigners.
 
6. The photograph above the story is not Amanpuri's lobby. This is a
living room of one of the privately owned villas.
 
7. Amanpuri has an open-door policy, and the resort is not reserved
for VIP guests. In fact, many local Thai families frequent the hotel.
 
8. The hotel has one security gate, as do all Phuket hotels through
which any person may freely travel, not "many checkpoints" as said in
the article.
 
9. In the privately owned villa homes, there are a number of antiques
the owners have purchased including images of the Lord Buddha and most
of the homes have been blessed by monks from our local temple.
 
10. A number of spirit houses are placed throughout the resort, all of
which are blessed and our staff pay respect to these on a daily basis,
with traditional offerings.
 
I am, therefore, compelled to write to draw your attention to the
errors contained in this article.

Yeah, I remember once we invited someone to a korean dinner and served
 bulgogi and galbi.

And he would exclaim in a loud voice , with pride "I AM A VEGETARIAN"
and smile. The mood was ruined and we felt like terrible hosts.
He was plainly enjoying our discomfort and embarassment.

Later he talked about how meat-eaters are destorying their bodies
and ruining the earth.

We never invited him back.

Thank Rikiya Asano for your interesting and effort to use korean language

I think that you misunderstood the meaning of HANGUL

Hangul meand korean character
and HANGUK  is the another name of KOREA.

That 50% divorce rate was much publicized many years ago but was also

and also because of the extreme political leanings of the organization which
produced those figures. I know I am short on specifics, but I don't

I want to ask some opinion from you.

(1) What do you think about "Real Name Bank Account"?
(2) " Land System Improvement as a public concept"

These are the matters which the president should "dramatically change 
left to right on the palm of President by his will" - but not everyday, 
just once.

	If someone there haven't powered down them or system hasn't been

	Assuming it's at sun eeprom monitor, typing 'c' & su &

that has been our economic policy.
if it is not profitable NOW, don't bother developing new tech
but just buy foreign country's tech paying high price.
still we can compete in world market with cheap labor force.
it worked ok up to now without china and south asian country's developement.

let's see what is happenning now.
we are losing most market which we had dominated with cheap price.
like shoes, clothes, etc.
go any shopping center near you and check it out.
now it is obvious that we desperately need high quality so that
people choose our products even though it is more expensive than others.

we should execute GEUM-YUNG-SIL-MYUNG-GAE and Public-concept-of-land
immediately, the sooner the better.
you said next MINJJA goverment will do it.
I will give them full credit if they do when it is not too late.
-- in fact in 87's election, Rho promised to do it and broke 
his promise after got elected.
we have waited already for five years for it.
let's see how long we should wait to see them keep their promise.

I have read Mr Byungtae Lee's first post and totally agree with his thought.
That post was I think so much reasonable to anwere why DJ was defeated.

Recently I have shared this topic among the visiting prefessors and several 
postdoctors around me and found they have similar opinion to Byung Tae Lee's.

Eventhough they agree that YS has lots of fault and weak points but
still most of my friend pointed that DJ's capability to appeal to the korean
public is immaturer then YS's. Also they, as DJ told, will not trust DJ whether
DJ can be claimed to be honest or not. 

All of them also told that if DJ did give up 87's election, he might be a
great hero in this election. But regardless of NEW DJ Plan most of my colleges
would not change the image of OLD DJ whether it was planted by the 
korean government or not.

Anyway Thank ByungTae Lee for his great analysis and reasonable answer to my
original question.

P.S. Yestday I dreamed a dream where I have talked with DJ personally.
In this dream I expressed my pity about his failure. His image in my dream
was so mild and like a father. He accepted the result and told he was going
to retire. Ha Ha Ha . I do not understand why he appeared in my dream.

I hope the kind of request I am about to make hasn't been mentioned on

have one of those "eyelid folding" surgery.  Although I'm a retinal
micro-circuitry researcher myself, performing such operation on my own

may result from a failed one -- no matter how remote the possibility
may be -- transforms me into a lifelong penitent brother.  So does
