We're way past regular bole and into hyperbole.
Because of the way Naver labels my site---전라남도 여수시 영어교사 Brain 블로그, 한국문화, 역사, 뉴스, 축제 등 수록---I get some hits for stuff like "한국문화 영어." Those hits in turn directed my attention to some books to help Koreans explain parts of their culture to English-speakers. A bookstore in Old Downtown carries two of them, and I browsed through one, Power Speak about Korea, a little while ago. It has vocabulary, phrases, and sample essays about history, food, tourist attractions, and so forth, and is of a familiar tone and style.

I'm glad you get hits for 'Brain' as your blog does promote and provoke thought.
