Also, when you get a chance with everything on your plate atm, I do recommend the movie called TaeGukGi: Brotherhood of War, that is if you do not mind a thoroughly realistic portrayal of war. It's like Saving private ryan, but the emphasis is put more on the human drama of two brothers (who to me stand for all other brothers of the divided nation) very intense and heart-wrenching, and it gives an insight into a piece of Korean history, the division of the nation into North and South and the resulting war of 1950-53, shows the war essentially and emotions play out in all their terrifying power. It's an enormously powerful picture and shakes you up and it;s a movie that changes something inside you.

Yes, it's the best idea ever, but you know as far as I know in 2003 he park authorities tried to ban a demonstration of February 15 against the War in Iraq, that's not what the place is supposed to be like. However, it does depend on how you approach the notion of expressing your views,m because freedom is ultimately not anarchy. And the problem with beautiful ideas is that they get misused by people and eventually become the very opposite of what they were initially supposed to do. I see, no it;s just that for me Dubai is a pretty exotic place, I guess that's why it's a question you automatically ask lol. We always seem to have these exaggerated notions about places far away that sound different o us lol

Also, frankly, I am not sure whether our dear poor PP protagonist would be now any more willing to have transpant from his son. Kim Bum Angel used this idea to make him accept his son. I don' think he would, as he's clearly growing attached to him, so there will have to be some other way. Either that..or the Angel is just there to make sure he lives his life to the fullest before it ends. Also, the father and son are also both genius minds, which is a good ambigious indication that he may and may not be at the same time, thiose writers have some excellent ideas. Did you see how great a memory he had for those house elements for the lady vet's house? That was one of the moments I really felt aww, and he had spent 16 years in prison? What a darn waste! But I'm just worried now about this padam padam being replace, when is it being thrown to? some bad non-prime time spot?

Optinal courses usually do not have exams, but mandatory for obligatory courses and they are handled on a year to year basis, so it''s mostly the same. I can fully understand wanting to move to post-grade faster, I feel it has slighlty more independence. You can do it! :) I am based in Guildofrd, which is very near London- takes me 40 minutes by train to get to london Waterloo and from there everywhere else. I am actually going to Rochester, NY this March. An excuse to go to the states but there is a NorthEast Modern Lg Association convention which offers two interesting panels for me so I wrote an abstract and got myself accepted. Now I'm wondering how to deal with travel, since there are bad flight connections to Rochester. How did you deal with jet lag when coming to London in 2007 and what did you do there?

Well in PL, where I did most of my coursework (I am only writing MA in England), I had crash courses in year 1 and 2, that included two literatures , hstory and cultural classes. In year 3, we were starting to choose seminars and we had internships to do at schools, but they have nothing to do with any one subject, and seminars are more like showcasing some more advanced aspects of some of the basic issues we discussed in earlier years. In England, there are three UG levels, ending with a BA and then there is 1-2 yerar MA programme, which is already postgraduate and the difficuly level changes in as much more is expected from students who already know some of the basics, they also have optional modules they can choose in level 2, much like seminars in PL, for a zoom in on some aspects they may be interested in.

They're replacing padam padam? The ratings have fallen, have they? That's oe of the reasons I am very afraid of watching airing dramas, especially when I'm starting to like them. I really hope it will continue to inspire and keep ratings, otherwise it;s also detrimental for the filming crew and I am now hyped for it to become the drama of the year 2012, well one of it at least, especially with Jung Woo Sung and the rest doing such an impressionable job. He must have good agent to get him such good roles. Hmm didn't think about it that way, but maybe the writers/directors were trying to find inspiration in it, interesting observations! With regards to song, that's what I'm wondering too, whether they were at all inspired by it. Also, incidentally the word PADAM means I am falling in Polish lol (also metaphorically), though it's accentuated differently.

Yes, I remeber that episode, she is quite a lady, Seok Ran I eally liked her all throughout, though there will be also a nurse character, very lovely. But Seok Ran is quite grand and again this particular aspect will be broughout nicely in the end, she is after all becoming the first korean female physician in the western kind of way, because I think the first physician is also in Jewel in the palace, but I'm not sure about it since I haven;t watched that one yet. Hope JJW will continue to be to your general liking

I notice how formative childhood is when observing my almost 3yo nephew and his psychologist mother. She really worked with him so much than now he speaks like a 5 year old, not a 3year old, although granted he is impatient sometimes lol. Distance is definitely difficult to achieve. even in writing...when i write i do get emotional about this and then submitting ot for review is hellish, though I should know by now that they are not criticising me but the work in question. This looks like an interesting graded system. Dare I ask about exams? Do they happen after the most advanced level of these subjects has been taken? I sure hope you won;t have too many of them because you will have your hands pretty busy all right. BTW, out of curiosity may I ask which part of the States you're from?

I reckon that's a very good reason for chosing to go for tourism and then travelling abot to countries which may be more comfortable for you. Home is where you feel you belong and where you're more comfortable. I wanted to go to see the Giant footsteps in Antrim. And a lot of celtic folk songs paint lovely pictures of Ireland, too so it makes me want to go and travel around I just may one day. Yes I love London, it;s a vibrant place and very mind expansive in many ways. Do do you visit often? I've always been a fan of the UK, I loved English since I was 4yo and I still dont have enough of it. The sound of accents from the British isles is also very exciting, because you people sound incredibly lovely when you speak, it's great to listen to some genuine Great Britain islanders speak. Though I have been for a while I haven;t really explored it yet as I should, so my

and that the father will do something to protect him. Plus, also the father still didn't have all the miracles, which suggests something like we have had so far will still happen and it's going to be big, so I have high expectation. What kind of parallels, for instance? I think the characters played by the actor do match in some ways.<br />There is translation for the lyrics here: http://lyricstranslate.com/en/Padam-Padam-Padam-Padam.html

Well, there is a scene in episode 8 (I am just in the middle of episode 9 now) with the son which worried me a lot, because for the time being it has been left and it will surely have consequences in the future. I can't tell you because you haven't watched it yet but I do think it will have a bearing either it will turn pout, as you suggested, that he is not his son, or maybe that it will cause more trouble for him as the ex-convict..in any case an innocent scene like that I aw in ep 8 will likely provide a deux ex machina for some future event. At the same time I really feel, based on ep 7, like the son feels like at home with him and Angel and he is starting to appreciate him, because like his father he also doesn;t really belong aywhere. so even if not biological, I feel they are already a family. But I'm worried that the son will have a repeat of father's story

It's just the kind of film which etirely shakes you up. The tragedy of two brothers is focused in but you never lose sight of the tragedy of the entire nation of such brothers.

The story is so deeply humane you will feel it everywhere, it's also a very realistic portrayal of war and its effects . Realistc also quite graphic and you may expect iuntensity and a very epiphanic experience all togethere. It's a story of brotherhood torn. Quite algeorical, and relying on irony. It's a powerful tale you are not likely to forget and a piece of history too.

lol, I used to go on and on about how korean melodramas made all weak in the knees to some of my friends and almost made them into converts XD Fact of the matter is, Asians have a strong grasp of how to do emotions, human dramas and love stories, most of the actors act their hearts out in both commercial and less commercial productions. For dramas, they have a winning formula and what tops it all, is that in this drama making machine buisiness, the more they produce, the more variety we have and in that variety everyone finds something; it;s not just about making one 200eps plus telen ivela or neverneding soap to be watched every single afternoon in a never-ending circle of sameness, and that';s what appeals to me the most. An ither thing, I am one to start watching things from the final scene, if I can lol. With Asian dramas it really doesn't kill the suspense because I

I think Romy Schneider is the most loved version and the one with most accolades, hence I am familair with the name and her Sissi has been sitting on my plan to watch lists for some time now, so I recognised that image lol. I was first inspored to ivnestigate more about Sissi since I watched the cartoon series as a child and felt there was something real behaind all the usuall cartoony fluff. But I still liked the cartoon series.

Well, the 2009 mini series it seemed to focus heavily on the unhappy marraige theme but and in detail on personal problems and political problems of the empire; Sissi seemed to be very asserive, a kind of person that is strong and not a marionette, a good plitician and spontaneous person, the kind of person who will not hesitate to say 'You must" to her husband monarch lol. I kinda liked her. The general atmosphere seemed good, sentimental music, the sets authentic. Although I did read some reviews that the 2009 actress is def not Roma, so this version's Sissi may not be to your liking. I can't compare since I haven;t yet watched this version and since I'm not particulary well versed in that period of history, there may well be inaccuracies and some deficiencies. I found Franz to be sympathetic ad Sophie seemed really convincing.

anime z Ghibli, szczególnie Miyazaki, stanowi dla mnie duza inspiracj? do eksplorowania anime z troch? g??bszymi historiami, chocia? ponyo nie ogl?da?am ale jako? wcale nie bardzo mam ochot? na razie. totoro by?o przurocze, ale mononoke hime jest jednym z moich ulubionych. Za moich lat pachol?cych i nastoletnich polonia 1 puszcza?a swego czasu rozne zorra i yattodetamany, lubilam wtedy Tiger Mask a z bratem czasem oglagalam Tsubas?, chociaz akurat te dwie ostatnie serie dobrze wspominam. No i hana yori dango w wersji anime, ktore obejrzalam juz duz pozniej, odpowiadalo mi pod wzgledem rysunku. Byla tez jakas anime z gigantycznym robotem i postaciami ze skrzydlami, pamietam ze jeden nazywal sie chyba olbas lol Ba i rzecz jasna sailor moon, ktora ogladalam z babcia :D Do Death note sie przymierzam kiedys sie zabiore, ale moze najpierw live action zobacze.
