It's actually quite amazing that each idiom has quite an in depth background story behind it, and yet, there is no where on the internet that explains much of it to English speakers.
Aside from understanding the language from these idioms, it's also very much an expression of wisdom accumulated from thousands of years of history. I think it's important that this kind of cultural exchange happens more. Only then can the East meet the West.
That´s a good intention of yours and I can´t do anything else than to agree with it :)

I´m originally from Germany and currently living in Kuala Lumpur. Before I´ve already studied for some time in Seoul and am travelling Asia for some time already. You might check on my blog some time if you´d like as I try to get started to share my adventures as well (Definitely not a very good blogger yet :D)

How interesting, so you can speak quite a number of languages! Of course German and English, but maybe Korean? or even Chinese?

I´ve just got German, English and a bit of Spanish in my Portfolio :) In Korean I was just able to read it and knew some basic phrases. Unfortunately I forgot most of it as I don´t use it anymore :( Regarding Chinese I´m actually considering to take some classes as I´ve got a lot of chinese coworkers now :)
