A friend had me play this game called the Akinator. It's so neat! You think of someone and this genie asks some yes or no questions and he guesses who you're thinking of. So we played and he kept guessing correctly. The amazing thing was he didn't seem to ask too many vital questions yet he would come up with the right name. Well, I said there's no way he'll guess the next person. But after quite a few more questions he guessed! I couldn't believe it!! So Ji Sub!!!

That is so freaky, I'm almost afraid to do it again! I answered the questions--one of which was "Does he appear often without a shirt?" answer:Yes.........and he guessed Taeyang (Of Big Bang) .....oh I gotta go try another one I just may be up all night!!!!!! So far he has guessed 3 members of Big Bang.......crazy fun! Sooo I did it again and he guessed it -- my pet ferret!

Well it choked on mine...I tried it with Kim Myung Min, the guy who played Yi Soon Shin. It did get close enough to guess three different male Korean actors, but it gave up before getting Kim.

I went with Song Hye Gyo and it wasn't even close.

I wonder if he only reads women's minds. Cuz he guessed all my girlfriends' and my people and Birdy's but not Ajk's or Knov's. Also my husband thought of Woodrow Wilson and Akinator couldn't guess him - a U.S. president!! When he even guessed Albert the butler of Batman for me with like 8 questions. Hmmm...

When I told my "boys" about this, they were all "Yeah, mom we know about this" My younger son said someing like "people add information to the site about people and that way the genie can make correct guesses". I can understand this, because I can see people adding information for people they are interested in (like Big Bang ) but not necesarily for people like Woodrow Wilson.....and when I tried to get him to guess Abraham Lincoln, he got it right! Oh well, it still is fun to "play".................

jewel, I tried it this evening and it's working fine for me. Why don't you try it again and see what happens. Maybe it was just a temporary glitch.

Thanks, Ajk. It's my iPad. I got on my laptop and it changed my avatar without a problem. Ever since I updated to iOS 8 it's been acting strange (my iPad, I mean). I can't even do attachment.

I am very sad tonight. My parents got calls from two of my uncles from Korea (who are both doctors so I guess they know what they're talking about) telling us we should seriously think about canceling our trip to Korea this summer cuz of this MERS outbreak. Which I've never even heard of before! And we already got the tickets and everything. We had originally planned to go in August but cuz too much was going on that month we were gonna go one month earlier. I did so much shopping to get ready too! Both my uncles are saying there's no knowing how worse it might get over there before it gets better...

Don't buy into all of the worry just yet. Most of the people who got that got it in the hospital. And the authorities are taking aggressive measures to get it under control. Just wait it out and the odds are you should be fine to go.

Thanks for your advise, Ajk. This is exactly what my husband says too. But then he doesn't worry about anything. On the other hand my dad is a big worrywart and he's concerned about my mom (her health has always been a little frail). As of right now, it's still on. We can cancel even up to the night before the flight date - we just lose $200 on each ticket. Ouch! Oh well. We'll see what happens...

Thanks Ajk! As of right now, the trip is still on and I'm very very excited. I've actually never been this excited over a visit to Korea before. This time I'm really gonna soak in all the different peoples, places, foods... the whole culture. It totally isn't just about visiting my relatives like it's been before. And if I can, I'll try to upload some pictures while I'm there. If not, I'll do so when I get back.
Thank you for the articles, very interesting read.
