Euno leaned forward, eyebrows raised, and asked, "Do you know the Korean story
about these berries?"
I glanced down at the tiny bottle in my
hands and shook my head, ready
for something good. The story goes something
like this:
A long time ago, an old man of 70 went into the woods and ate a
lot of mountain berries. When he emerged, he immediately fathered a baby.
There's a little more to the story that I won't publish, but according
to my coworkers, raspberry products are still consumed for sexual stamina
and fertility. Is that why there are hearts on the bottle? Possibly, but you never
know in Korea -- hearts whimsically show up in the strangest places here.
