Korean "delicacies" #3 I didn't know that learning Korean would give me such great pleasure. My face is happy, my body is happy, even my children are happy! Do you want to know why? The answer next week :). Three months ago I would never have believed that during a very busy week I would wake up at 5:30 in the morning just to take an italki lesson before going to work. Maybe I'm crazy? Or maybe it's the effect of learning just for my own pleasure? Never mind :) Today I want to brag about another Korean delicacy I heard, ate and liked. You may like it too. 딸바보 - daughter's daddy, girl's daddy, a father who becomes a fool when it comes to his daughter and adores/praises her a lot (EN) 딸바보 - ojciec totalnie zwariowany na punkcie córki, traktujący ją jak księżniczkę (PL)

"TAI PAN" BY JAMES CLAVELL This novel opens the history of Hong Kong, but, of course, from author’s view and his adaptation. 6 months 1841. The first opium war. Chine try to ban Great Britain’s trades of opium. After conclusion of a peace treaty, Great Britain get an empty island – Hong Kong. And start to build there. Traders are the most interested in this event. Main character the trader (in Chinese is tai pan) Dirk Struan knows a lot about China and its culture. This knowledge helps him to solve many problems and make good deals. I really admire the author’s attention to Asian lives and recommend this book for historical fiction lovers.
