Netchannels and NAT.
Only because of drink evening and korean stories
I have not completed NAT support for netchannels, but I will do it tomorrow or in a day
(if climbing training will not be that hard).

Collegue has returned from Korea (Samsung).
First impression - they drink. No, they do drink. Even, they DO DRINK.
That's a good news if I will ever visit that country.
He has brought us a box (about 20 small bottles of 0.3 litre) of super-puper
known product called 'Soju' or something like that - it is korean vodka,
which has only 20.1 degrees compared to russian 40, but nevertheless is quite strong.
We drunk a littel and listened a lot of fun stories about koreans
(I'm sorry if it will be a bit unpleasant, but what would you expect
from big white monkeys?).
First of all, theirs language. From russian point of view it is fun.
For example they lived in big hotel somewhere on the sea-side (15 minutes from Seoul),
and every time they entered a lift (in Samsung) some movie was shown -
how many degrees must be in different bows and what are other rules
of decencies...
After several such movies they started to use interesting korean phrases as toasts
in korean restaurants (well, they did drink a lot there).
So, the most interesting (I managed to recall after couple of bottles of theirs 'Soju')
phrases which sounds specially in russian:
- 'ebazie' - something like 'hello' when you answer a phone call.
- 'humida' - something like 'to be' (actually it is pure russian pronuncation, used for
phrases like 'that thigs', i.e. 'eta humida').
- 'ebti' - something like 'next door' - does not require a translation for russians,
we will forget it in a minute (I specially wrote on paper), since it sounds too fun.
So, imagine several big white monkeys sitting in the korean restaurant, which drink
for 'Hello', drink for 'Doors are closing', 'Next door' and 'to be' words, i.e.
one of them stands and starts using grave voice:
Let's drink for the next door.
Collegue has told interesting story about sea products and how they eat it.
In Russia we sometimes exit the city and go 'po gribi - po yagodi', i.e.
for mushrooms and berries, and we eat berries right in the forest.
Koreans do the same with sea-livers - consider a family, which
has a good car(s), which moved to the sea-side from Seoul to get some fresh
monsters - after low tide they get alive ratchets and eat them right on the coast.
If ratchets want to run away and dig into the sand, they have special small spades
- just like russian mushroomers have special knifes.
Another story was about _alive_ octopus being cookied right for them,
so even after its skin was removed and it was sliced, its parts still moved
(even in your mouth). Or some other alive, which cried when you eat it.
They start to drink thursday evening (at least in Samsung), they drink a lot, but automagically friday morning
they are fresh (although each evening they are so tired that can sleep on neighbours shoulder
in the bus), then exactly the same happens firday and saturday (including major drinks
and parties), but sunday they get themself and go shopping (but can sleep in the shop).
It looks like they live completely different lives than we.
I think I would like to visit Korea.

Elton John sings oven instruction.
Excellent. Although I do not like his songs, but it is cool.
Audience is very interesting.
In russian I would say 'Zhest' kak ona est'.
