I don't like very spicy noodles either.
And I prefer the latter too xD
What's the second Hanja on that noodle mean? I can read the 3, but anything that goes above 6 strokes I'm too lazy to learn.

Mintaka, do you study Biology?

...yes, I major in that field.

I think she does.

Remember the Biology classes we both had that ended up in equipment failure?

Yes, that's a moment to remember. ^^;

I'm back guys. Did I miss anything?

EVERYTHING! xD

It's pronounced "yang".

I'm assuming that's the same as 서양 or 동양? (God I suck with 'em damn Chinese characters...)

Speaking of Chinese characters, I have to deal with them all day.

Right now I have no school :3

When I do have responsibilities I am able to balance them just fine.

No, different. In those cases, 'yang' means ocean or a big body of water. For the company's name (on the noodles), it means 'nutrient'.

This is why I friggen hate Hanja. You can have a billion characters that sound alike and have completely unrelated meanings or features. Wonder how the hell the Japanese and Chinese get by using this crap.

I still get your analogy, though.

This goes the same for Korean; I think it helps to tell apart words that sound alike.
Each syllable has a different meaning and even if the words sound exactly alike, by showing the word written in Hanja, the word is set apart from others that sound the same.
And it's helpful for names. ^^

Bahaha... says yoooou... English is supposedly one of the oddest languages to learn because our sounds are not consistent.
