GIKorea,
Thanks also for using my funnies in your linklets. I try to make it a mix of local and Korean stuff since I was there for so many years.

RE: China Airlines
Airlines have special squads that go to plane crash sites and paint over the logos. American Airlines, Delta and United have all been reported doing it. It’s not a cover up. It’s damage control. Yes, a plane crashed. Yes, everyone knows it’s an X Airlines plane, but painting over the logo so people aren’t constantly reminded of the name is a common PR move.
