세계인의 날 (People of the World Day)

In mid-May (date to be confirmed) the Ministry of Justice (법무부) (is that even still its name nowadays?) will hold 세계인의 날 (People of the World Day) which I hear will be a festival held one weekday morning (don't get me started) down at me Olympic Park. Among those present will be President Lee and several thousand foreigners (assuming you can get the time off work).

As I've mentioned before, a friend of mine works at the Ministry of Justice and she helped me a lot a few weeks ago when I was trying to get a visa for my intern and thus when she needed a performing monkey for the promotional video for how sweet and rosy the expat life in Korea is, she called me. Actually, I believe I am just one of many (if I make the cut - I couldn't say the lines they wanted with any degree of seriousness so I might end up on the cutting room floor).

Anyhow, last Saturday afternoon we trundled along to the production office of the company that is making the film and Sunme and I had a short interview about international marriage and they took some footage of us as a family.

Yours truly being asked about the importance of respect for your wife... Sunme being prepped for her question on the difference between foreign men and korean men Sunme thinking hard about how what it is about me that makes her so happy... Alex didn't have to say anything but just look photogenic...Emily was supposed to do the same but she wasn't having any of it... Although my wife told me that they seemed to spend a lot of time just focusing on his iris... So while I'm not a film star like Aaron you may or not see me in upcoming Korean propaganda.
