Post Thirteen, Dog days of summer

On the hottest three days of summer Koreans like to dine on Boshintang (보신탕). It is a soup made of Dog meat and vegetables, which is believed to help cool the body and Boost stamina.

Cary,

My name is Roger Wellor (I found you on the Korean Blogger site) and I’m doing a study of the successes and failures of Korean International Tourism Marketing. I have a brief survey online that I invite you to take. It is designed to be answered by Korean/US bloggers and to give a slight outline of how these cross-cultural thinkers evaluate Korea’s International Marketing.

Sorry to do this in comments, but I didn't see an email link...

Your email will not be used for anything other than this survey (in fact it is not a required field in the survey) and if you have any questions, I can be contacted here at rwellor@spunangel.com.

Here is the link:

thank you,

Roger
