My Chuseok Present

Post by Dropdeadqt » 15 Sep 2010, 18:37

So today I recieved a present from my school. As is fairly customary around this time, the school buys a gift for the teachers to celebrate the holiday.

Here is my gift

As you can see the box looks amazing, it also came in a lovely carry bag and is very heavy.

This is the stuff. 4 bottles of wonderful and expensive oil... but wait... what's that?

No, there really is a flowering plant called the "rape". I remember distinctly translating a short story back in University and realized that the imagery in Japanese looked a lot different than the vibe I was getting in English.

Rapeseed oil = Canola oil

You can blame the british for calling it "Rape". Silly people.
Having an abundance of platonic relationships reminiscent of my man, Mike Plato.

So when a pommy girl calls out "rape", she's just admiring the flora?
