One week is far too little time for serious cultural imperialism. It was three weeks actually. One week is far too little time for serious cultural imperialism.

Did you read the post first? It seems that writing anything about Korean history, even if it's from a critical, academic or entirely neutral point of view, counts as evidence of the heinous crime of 'Koreapilism', right up there with necrophilism, paedophilism and all those other philisms. Now please troll your way over to Frog in a Well <a href="http://froginawell.net/china" rel="nofollow">China</a> and Frog in Well <a href="http://froginawell.net/japan" rel="nofollow">Japan</a> and rant incoherently there about 'Sinophiles' and 'Japanophiles', for the sake of consistency if nothing else. By the way, I didn't see the 'samuri sward' but it certainly sounds intriguing. Wow, I’ve heard some bizarre non sequiturs but that is a real prize winner. Did you read the post first?

I suppose that Koreaphiles will gobble up any thing Korean like roll of kimbap, but I found going to the Korean national Museum to be a waste of time. One bit of 'history' that I am pretty sure owen would like is a two meter replica of the samuri sward of Lee sun shin. Its fake, so owen will like it. It looks like it was made about 10 years ago. It is also a style that was never used by the koreans. And the biggest laugh is that the thing is two meters tall. I could go on but people in this blog dont seem too interested in history.
