Namaste~ (1)

Okay.. it has been 2 weeks since I came from the business trip from India.  I am slowly getting out of chicken and mutton-phobia and start missing Indian tea (which i got tired of when I was there), McVeggie and McCurry at McDonnald. 

(The real Indian Curry with Tandoori)  (Indian desert - some sugar candy with spice)

Who said India is "CHEAP"?

okay.. I read steve's job's (somewhat) biography "iCon" where he mentioned his experience in India to become "spiritual" and how inexpensive that place is.  Don't get me wrong... You will see tons of rich people in Delhi and things are not cheap as you think.  If you want to have descent stuff (without getting food poisoning) you need to spend as much as you spend for lunch in US (thanks god.. no tip there!)  After all, I found myself suffering from running out of the budget

Need for Speed India Version... "Honk" and "Cow Dodging" Feature

The rapid economy growth in India brings the change in everyday's life.  Traffic Jam is also one of the biggest problem in many metropolitan cities in India, and metro (subway) system is being constructed everywhere.  Due to little experience with automobile, the driving manner in India is not quite "Gentle"... The driver usually removes the rear view mirror (due to narrow road.. i assume) amd honking is common when changing or overtaking the lane.  (Of course it also means  "get out of my way").  They honk to pedestrian and anything on the way except for cow crossing the street.

If EA is going to release "Need for Speed" for India, they should implement "Honk" feature and Cow crossing the street instead of police chasing...

Faith on My Religion, and Respect Other's Faith

I came across the intresting article few days ago about Korean Inter-Reglion Group (composed of Catholic Sisters, Buddhism Female Monks, Anglican Church Sisters) visiting Dalai Lama at India.  This group of people were on pilgrimage visiting Baranashi - The first site when Buddha preached after his englihtment, Jerusalem and many other holy-sites.  As they were visiting Dalai Lama, he greeted these people with great joy and praised their effort on the inter-reglion reconciliation.  

Reglions in the world commonly emphasize the concept of love, and harmony with other people.  However, it is true that many disputes (war, massacre, diaspora) in human history were caused by the conflict between reglions and hostile attitue toward others.  As Dalai Lama greeted these people, he emphasized that

keeping faith means to protect and enrich one's reglion and follow the orthodox-doctrine of church/temple.  Respect is also the most crucial factor to keep this society harmonious and peaceful.   In the personal point of view, keeping the faith is more important than anything else, but in the social point of view, respect others is more important than anything else. We all have two eyes, tongue, mouth and same number of teeth. But Korean ppl love Kimchi but while Japanese ppl love Natto despite f having same number of teeth, tounge and mount.  Likewise, although we are same human being, we all have different idea and pursue the different value - and we need to admit this. 

We all learned the numerous war - like Crusade in the Europe, thirty years war in 17th Germany - and recently witness Muslim's anger on Danish newspaper cartoon about prophet Mahomet.  In this type of conflict, they all insist that they are doing "RIGHT" thing and keeping their faith, but is that what Jesus/Mahomet/Buddha taught us to be????   In the church, we finish the mass/worship citing "we will spread the good news to others".  The church already teach us the same idea on Dalai Lama's quote, but why do we forget this so easily and cause the conflict?

ps) Kimchi is now one of the world-wide favorite quote...yay~

When your hobby becomes your profession...

Okay... it is the second week since I started working in game company.  People play games for fun and finding it useful to spend time with.  I was also one of those people loved the game and had a fantasy to work in game industry. 

As of this month, game becomes an item that I have to deal with for living, and I started to discover the different aspect(?) of playing game.  For the first time, I started tracking player's forum carefully (online game), summarized their complaint and dicovered myself making little report ( : sign of workholic) and frustrated at the game system which i had never paid attention to. 

No matter where I work or what I do, there's no such thing called "prepared perfect dream job", but I am the one making the job into what I have dreamed of.  I guess I will have much easier time with making my job more enjoyable than my previous one since I am familar with the item that I am dealing with as well as background knowledges.

Let this week be another exciting time!

Hmm.. so this is so called "Blog" in English (I have a blog in korean.. but too lazy to write things in English nowadays)  But after all, I guess i will share my idea with other people while harassing people for playing more video/pc games!
