Korean Snack Review: Mini Cream Wafle [sic] (웨하스)

These vanilla wafers were imported from Korea. Like many products made mainly for sale outside of America, these wafers had a Nutrition Facts sticker (instead of simply having the nutrition facts included on the packaging) I've including a close-up of this sticker below, if you're interested in that sort of thing.

Some Good Books for Beginners Learning Korean

I started learning Korean almost a year ago. I'm still very much a beginner, but I can read Hangeul with little effort, and I'm beginning to be able to figure out what part of speech a word is based on its spelling with good accuracy. I've still got a long way to go. It was a struggle getting to this point with no formal instruction. If you're looking to learn Korean on your own, I hope that I can separate some of the good resources for learning Korean from the bad.

MERS and Epidemic Curves: Followup

In a post published June 21, 2015, I said I hoped that Korea would be MERS-free by the time I arrived in Korea for my trip this August. Good news! South Korea says the MERS threat is no more. There hasn't been a new case of MERS in Korea since July 2, 25 days ago, and the incubation period for MERS is usually no longer than 14 days.

MERS and Epidemic Curves

I'm planning a trip to Korea in about a month. An outbreak of MERS started a little over a month ago, so I became concerned that my trip might have to be cancelled. I researched the MERS outbreak in Korea, and I learned about epidemic (or epi) curves.

Searching Korean Text

One technique I find extremely useful when writing a letter, essay, or research paper is to search through the paper for a portion of a word. Suppose I'm interested in finding a section of my paper that uses the word "converter", or maybe it was "conversion"? I don't remember, so I hit Ctrl+F and type "conver". This brings up both "converter" and "conversion".
