SOUTH KOREA 12/3/08 10:14 AM preoccupation with Snickers chocolate bars. This is his “last” debate tournament, just like all the others—ha, ha, ha. That also happens to be the sound his teammates make when he jokes around. So why is he inexplicable? And where do Snickers come from? (Nobody cares.) We will see. Debater #3: Youjin Jenna Song Miss Song’s roommates can sleep assured as she is armed against anyone daring to wake them up before noon with the intoxicating orange-scented “F- Killer.” She is unique as the only teenage member of Team Korea who does not live in Bundang (known as B-Town). Miss Song also goes to DFLHS, much to the chagrin of Mr. Kwon. She enjoys dancing, also much to the chagrin of Mr. Kwon. (He probably enjoys it too though.) Will WSDC find out why? (Probably—hint: country expo night.) We will see. Debater #4: Stephanie Char This Seoul International School (SIS) tadpole, also known as Miss Char or Captain O, has the astounding ability to write while she sleeps: this happens to be very useful for flowing after a sleepless night “researching.” This can be very deceptive during a debate. She is a great sinner but was accepted to the team under affirmative action for the underweight. Will she break the stigma of affirmative action? (Probably not—hint: she mostly consumes chocolate and fruit and chocolate containing fruit.) We will see. Debater #5: Matthias Minjae Yoo Meticulous Minjae Yoo from Hanguk Academy of Foreign Studies (HAFS) has had many unexplainable mood swings recently—perhaps in anticipation of WSDC? An anonymous amphibian speculated that it was due to a secret lover, or possibly because he tried pepperoni pizza for the first time yesterday. Fuzzy Minjae would like to have a baby (did I already mention that?). He also came up with the team motto that “Being thin is a sin.” Will this motto stick? (Well…) We will see. Coach #1: Peejay Garcia Coach Peejay, when he is not hauling Dohyeong over the coals for his excellent humor, hauls the rest of the team over the coals for their similarly excellent speeches. But he also buys them food. Sometimes he provides them with sustenance indirectly—the kids recently liberated the Almond Peppero stashed behind the front desk. (Sorry—at least it wasn’t the Nude Peppero.) Peejay is the Paragon of freedom (in the form of reserving an aisle seat in the plane). The teammates quite adore him: hopefully he will cook sea urchins for them in return. Coach #2: Roger Hatridge Coach Poger (Wait, but that R looks nothing like a P!) Patridge (or an H for that matter), the true Dear Leader out of many, is not sarcastic at all. No, really. We are not lying. We don’t lie, because that’s a sin (just like being thin). The teammates quite adore him: hopefully he will take them to the local hospital if they ever get sea urchin poisoning. On a side note, pear lovers beware: grocery stores are likely to be devoid of that luscious fruit within a couple of days. Much love from the “Land of Morning Calm” (especially during rush hour in downtown and uptown and midtown Seoul), and see you all in Washington! Caution: this team biography was written in a dark (some ecofriendly debater turned the lights off) cold (but then turned on too much A/C) room among half empty bowls of black bean sauce noodles and fried dumplings and used chopsticks. That might account for the faint tantalizing aroma you have been noticing but been too self-conscious to mention for the past couple of minutes. It’s okay. Team Korea has that feeling sometimes, too. http://debate.uvm.edu/debateblog/wsdc/South_Korea.html Page 2 of 2

Unfortunately I've got a name which is A)too long and B)pretty impossible to pronounce...so feel free to call me 'Sanda'. I've been debating for nearly 3 years now and it's become a huge part of my life, specially after <strong>World</strong> School's last year. It definitely feels great to be able to come back to this tournament and do something that I really love! Cheers!" David Rajasingham (Age 17) I'm David Rajasingham, currently doing my 2nd year of A/Ls at S. Thomas' College, Mount Lavinia, a secondary school. I got involved in debating back in 2006, when I joined my school's debating society. I've really enjoyed the experiences its brought: not just debating itself, but getting to know about a lot of stuff I'd never heard about and meeting different people. Prawira Saldin (Age 18) Hi, I’m Prawira Saldin from S. Thomas’ College, Mount Lavinia. I’m happy to be a part of this team and this experience. Apart from debate I love Eating, sleeping, watching the EPL(still hoping that Arsernal will win) Gaming and yeah staring at the sky in sheer amazement. This is my second worlds and I hope it will be a blast. Tharindra Gooneratne (Age 17) http://debate.uvm.edu/debateblog/wsdc/Sri_Lanka.html Page 1 of 2
