Re: Request for permission to use...Dear Sir/Madam,<br /><br />Re: Request for permission to use your picture<br /><br />We would like to request for your permission to use a picture from your website: http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo14/kimchikorea/traditional%20stuff/KoreanBuddhistMonks.png as teaching material in our secondary history book series entitled: Travelling Through History. This series of textbooks follows closely the history syllabus prepared by the Hong Kong Curriculum Development Council. This book will be published in June 2011. <br /><br />The above noted picture is attached for your reference. <br /><br />In addition to the print format, we would also like to feature this picture in an accompanying CD-Rom, which is a replication of the above noted in electronic format. Available free of charge only to those who have purchased the print format, the CD-Rom is a complementary resource that allows users of the printed book the convenience of viewing the contents on their personal computers. We would like to emphasis that the said CD-Rom forms part of, and is not separate from, the total archival files of the print edition.<br /> <br />It is our opinion that the above noted picture would be of benefit to teachers as a teaching resource, and to students in terms of enhancing their historical knowledge. Due acknowledgement of your kindness would be made in our skills book series. <br /><br />We shall be pleased to come to a suitable arrangement with the owner. Should you have any requests or enquiries, please feel free to e-mail me at akilee@aristo.com.hk.<br /><br />Thank you in advance for your consideration. We look forward to hearing from you in due course.<br /><br />Yours sincerely<br /><br />Aki Lee<br />Assistant editor, History Department<br />Aristo Educational Press Ltd.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324511674904264945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5555901196733546406.post-72597614603045159852009-07-31T17:00:40.147+09:002009-07-31T17:00:40.147+09:00Sorry for late reply stickfire.

Really, one people separated by a tyrannical government. So, Korea is meaningful as the name of a whole Korea. There is no real animosity towards the people. The real disdain is for the leader Kim Jong Il. Of course, there is a sense that N.Koreans are less educated and enlightened. So, the view is that N.Koreans are like the pitiful impoverished cousin living in a harsh landscape.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407552515224746440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5555901196733546406.post-3062296558629233952009-07-31T16:52:58.639+09:002009-07-31T16:52:58.639+09:00Hey,

There are no sexual elements. It's something akin to a "wet-willy."Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407552515224746440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5555901196733546406.post-9606762856418845272009-05-18T00:45:00.000+09:002009-05-18T00:45:00.000+09:00I am assuming that you are in South Korea.

Are they disconnected from them, only sharing the name Korea or is there some communication between the two, like Mexico and New Mexico. There are Mexicans in New Mexico and New Mexicans in Mexico but it really has no significance on views since the name is arbitrary. I know that with N and S Korea there are families divided by the countries, so there would be more significance than the example I gave- but how much? Please Forgive my ignorance.stickfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793982851116069226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5555901196733546406.post-24868752721382224252009-05-16T03:36:00.000+09:002009-05-16T03:36:00.000+09:00Please, please, explain the "I got you by cracky" ...Please, please, explain the "I got you by cracky" statue?<br /><br />Is Korea still producing all the milk for distribution in the Far East?@elohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15974297923741455898noreply@blogger.com
