Conversation Partner: Do-jun Kim
Date/Time: Thursday 20 August 2015, 9:30-10:30 am
Do-jun had a very rough Thursday. A snafu with one of the
aircrafts had led to the entire flight schedule being rewritten. We had had to
delay our conversation thirty minutes because he had to stay late a
work. Since I know almost nothing about air traffic work and he knows quite a
great deal, I saw this as opportunity to let him talk while I asked questions
instead of the other way around. I got a lot of incites into life in South
Korea. Especially, when it came to discrediting or correcting stories we hear
about Korea in the United States. We specifically talked about the tradition of
eating dog meat. According to Do-jun, it is a delicacy and many people never eat
it. Do-jun himself has never had it even though he has had it recommended to him
by people. It seems that we exaggerate the most extreme traditions of other
cultures not matter how little they are actually practiced.
