I don't know about the rest of the list, If I ask a question in English, I seem to get my answers back in English, with the exception of one person who answered me back in Korean. He recognised the Hangul in my e-mail signature (which by the way, it is translated there as well). I told him I do not speak it all that well, and he replied in English, and we had a short discussion of Vanagons in Korea. He owns a Carevelle and tells me how rare they are there. Remember, VW's are "the most loved vehicles in the world." This list well goes around the world. If I had lived in Korea, and had a Vanagon and did not speak English, I would be left out of the list altogether. We all love our Vanagons and we chooses them because we like them, and they were available. They no longer import them here in the states, in fact the only markets are Brazil (air cooled) and South Africa. We need to be open to all and allow all. I you think a non-English post has info you really need, why not ask to have it translated? There are many members on this list, many of whom are multi lingual. I don't know about the rest, but I want every resource available to me for my Old Faithful Vanagon. That is my 2 cents, or 2,000 Won worth of opinion, I could be wrong. -- ¼ö°í Çϼ¼¿ä, (Work hard, but don't kill yourself at it) [Korean Proverb] Tim 1990 GL, Quarter Million Miler |
