How do you say Cheers in Every Language...

Just got confirmation of this last night at a bar in the Songtan district of P'yongt'aek. I've been in Korea for a month shy of a year and have been using Gom Bai this whole time, but last night one of the Koreans I drink with told me that I shouldn't use Gom Bei because it is a loan word from Japanese and many Koreans and Japanese still hold on to animosities from the old wars and power struggles. He said to use DuepShiDa instead. Unfortunately I wasn't exactly thinking clearly enough to ask the exact meaning... it probably had something to do with how many times we yelled DuepShiDa before the night was over XD. Watch out for Soju! Its a NINJA!!!
