"Tell us something interesting about your country that people might not know."

Miss Korea Universe and Miss Japan Universe answered a few questions in English ahead of the 2009 Miss Universe pageant.




Thanks to commenter wakalan. Koreans are, apparently, fashionable, clean, and neat, while Japan has talking toilets. Here's Miss USA, here's Miss Vietnam, and hell, you can use YouTube to find the rest.

I like the face of Ms. Japan and she's lovely. Ms. Korea seems average to me.

Miss USA is pretty and her answer is good. Sharp and with a strong personality.

But in the history of beauty contests, nobody can beat Ms South Carolina (Miss Teen USA 2007) in terms of stage presence and entertainment :)

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS WORLD PEACE.

Wishes question FAIL.

Furthermore, regarding the first question, I firmly believe that Miss Korea's answer should have been:

"Amog [sic] the rest, The Korean Language and The Korean Writing are the greatest cultural inheritance of everything in the world."

I'm amazed at how often I have to remind people of this definitive fact. After all, their language and writing cannot express perfectly each and every.

Korean people are "clean and neat." Exactly which several people is that. I see trash EVERYWHERE. I routinely pick up thrown trash and hand it back to the offender. And Tongdaemoon is a shithole. Cheaply made clothes and not made to last. A good percentage of Korean woman are very fashionable, but some don't get it and some don't try. And the Korean men are fashionable?

Yeah, Ms. Japan is hot. They always seem to find average-looking people for Korea. I think if they spent a few minutes in downtown Gwangju or at the bus terminal they'd have better luck.

Oh, and I like Ms. USA's answer, too.

Haa ha - Yes, Ms Niw Ziland is speaking English. ... I wonder if she's an English teacher in her spare time. Certainly, she's into education [remember to speak slowly now, for all the nice international viewers out there]:

"Educating people world wide would make some of the issues we have so much more... we could deal with them so much better and... (I mumble) education is very important.[emergency smile]"

Ah well, good on her. I guess I'd be a bit distracted were I in her shoes... So to speak.

Next time, perhaps Ms Korea needs to use Ms Japan's trick:
wear her Ben Wa Balls to the interview.
