* sticky rice - fortune teller studies - falling *

the name of this sketch is in Korean, in red pen. I got my homegirl Sunny to make it up.  CHAL DOK GOONG HAP.  Its a combination of two words. One means *sticky rice*. The other means *marital harmony as predicted by a fortune teller* (i luv korean)

...random page outta my personal korean studies book...

*present day reason is an analogue of the flat earth of the medieval period;  if you go to far beyond it youre presumed to fall off      .   .   .*
