A Korean Prostitute's calling card (anyone know Korean)? - threadomanced

[der_kluge]

Okay, later at home I will send her an e-mail with the pics and explain the problem, if she cannot help me she will know someone who will be able to, just wait and I will post the answer guys!!

One thing:I loved the Artificer's handbook, I haven't finished it yet but I doubt that I will ever use the magic item creation rules as they are in the PHB ever again!

Great! *blush* Ok, I never expected to see *that* in this thread, but I'll take compliments whenever I can get 'em! And yes, that was our intent - we all hated the magic item creation system in the core rules, as so much of it didn't make any sense.

Thanks for helping on my mystery, too. I'm betting it's a calling card.

What makes you say that? I've no idea what the 20,000 means. Maybe a monetary figure in Korean currency? 20,000 satisfied clients? I don't know.

did you try:

they have a korean to english translator.

AHA! It is a Korean calling card - I guarantee it. That very first symbol that looks like a stick figure next to a tree, standing on a donut, is the Korean symbol for the word "sex"!

And I was able to verify that the blue bar on the right translates into something like "open 24 hours a day". The first two symbols under 24 represent "hours".

On the back, in the directions, there is a box with 5 symbols in it. The bottom three symbols (starting with a 0} ) are the Korean symbols for "apartment".

Do you?

How'd you learn it? Did you visit there.

I lived there for one year (a while back), yet my Korean's pretty bad, ebarresingly. I could read the alphabet, but that's the extent of it.

just an interesting thing about this thread...The title of it now says "Korean Prostitue's Calling Card..."

so anytime someone replys to this thread, then on the main forum index page, you see the words 'Korean Prostitute Calling Card' with your name under it, (as it does with my name right now )

Hah, that's the extent of my korean too, and if I ever need to converse with a korean about how to kick someone's butt, I am set!
