Korean. Boy. Crab. Flower. Rain. Huh?

I was given a wee bookmark from my friend with an image from an apparently well-known Korean folktale. My friend, (who is Korean) doesn't know the folktale. Neither do I. But I have a burning desire to find out.

Vancouver-filter: My young friend (23!) is going to be in Vancouver from Oct. 11 - 18. She is on a very low-budget. Recommendations for cheap places to stay, fun things to do, nice coffee places with good people and any other advice for a young woman off to see the world!

More like "Ready or not here I come!"

Help me think of phrases that come exclusively from game play. Some examples would be: "Ollie ollie oxen free" and "ready or not here I come" and "ring a round a rosy".

ibook+humid climate= bad?

Should I leave my ibook in an unairconditioned apartment in muggy Hong Kong while I go to China for a week? Not worried about security; paranoid about humidity damage. It's hot and humid here. Walking around is a bit like taking a sticky bath. Leaving the a/c on is expensive and wasteful. Not interested in taking the laptop with me on vacation. What should I do?

What does a nurse do in an ER situation?

Nurse Filter: Can someone explain some basic ER stuff to an actor about to audition for a nurse part? I want my physical actions to be realistic.
