Although after a very late night in Itaewon on Friday, I certainly felt like it.
Anyway, in case you were worrying, I was not swept out to sea by flood waters last week. It was just a remarkably busy stretch at work and I had little energy to do anything else, including blogging.
Anyway, I apologize [...]
It took them a while, but the boys and girls at Cheong Wa Dae have apparently found the behavior of their neighbor’s obnoxiousness enough to warrant the term “evil.”
Only problem is, they were referring to Japan.
The Blue House chief of staff, Lee Byung-wan, slammed Japan yesterday, calling its reaction to North Korea’s missile launches “truly [...]
I know I should have been concentrating on Jessica Alba, but as I was watching “The Sleeping Dictionary” last night, I couldn’t help but wonder what people would say if a Japanese director had shot a similar film about a Japanese colonial official in Korea or Taiwan and his local girl-toy.
For the seventh year running, I am a member of a fantasy football league run by a friend of mine in North Carolina.
My team, Seoul Train, won it all in 1999, but it has been a struggle since then and I have often renamed the team “Seoul Caboose” by midseason.
Anyway, if there is enough interest, I [...]
The Roh administration is sticking to its guns on Gaeseong (Yonhap):
The South Korean government will never compromise on the issue of industrial goods produced in North Korea’s Kaesong industrial complex being considered as South Korean-made in the ongoing free trade agreement (FTA) talks with the United States, a top secretary to South Korean President Roh [...]
Well, this is another football post in the midst of all the other, perhaps more important, issues. I do have interests that don’t involve “the beautiful game”, that actually involve what might be considered more serious topics, but those interests would most likely be of no interest to the Marmot’s gang.
Anyhow, the Korean Football Association is [...]
I’m sure you’ve seen these by now, but give ‘em a looksie if you haven’t.
Joseon-eun hada-da, baby. Joseon-eun, hana-da (see here for the background).
Oh, and then there is this guy, of course. Shockingly, he’s a Berkeley boy.
A very creative Photoshop artist has given the MBC historical drama “Jumong” a Hollywood touch.
First and foremost, we have Korea’s gift to Sunday’s Miss Universe pageant, the lovely Kim Ju-hee, putting a bikini to good use. You’ll want to note the pic with Miss India.
I feel compelled to warn you, however, that Miss Kim is an very, very well-built young lady, and those with heart trouble may wish [...]
Hello everyone who has survived the rains in Korea, the heat in America or whatever it’s doing wherever you are,
In his wisdom, the Marmot has asked me to be a guest-blogger on this site, seeing as how I don’t have a blog of my own (just a simple site). As I have just recently been seen [...]
(UPDATE: with the Marmot back up and posting, I’m sure he will have more on all the crap that has been freely flowing from Pyongyang of late.)
Original post: We all knew it in the backs of our minds.
When the governments of Seoul and Pyongyang agreed to let families divided by the Korean War start seeing each other, most people knew [...]
Sorry for the lack of posts as of late. Regular posting will restart from today.
For Korean speakers interested in learning more about human rights in North Korea, check this out (emailed from LiNK):
There will be a study group meeting at Seoul National University on Wednesday nights to study about the North Korean Human Rights crisis. It will be held in Korean. Please contact Hye Young at stopatnothing@hotmail.com for more [...]
Max Watson spent Monday afternoon at the 2006 Seoul Auto Salon snapping photos of Korean racing girls/models. If you’re a heterosexual male (or a female whose sexual preferences run in that direction), you’re definitely going to want to check them out.
There will be a free concert by the former head pianist of the Pyongyang* National Symphony of North Korea, Kim Chul Woong, at Yonsei University on the evening of July 20 (this Thursday) at 6:30.
It is being organized by an NK human rights student group, so expect a little bit of proselytizing between before and after [...]
It’s a sad, sad world we live in when even communist dictatorships can’t trust one another.
The JoongAng Ilbo reports that North Korean leader Kim Jong-il complained to a visiting American dignitary earlier this month that he “could not trust the Chinese.” During the long meeting with the American, which was held in extreme secrecy, [...]
So, yesterday, I took a little trip down to the Han River. I like the rain in summer in Korea and I thought it would be fun to walk along the river bank. Only there was no river bank. I have seen the Han River swell up before, but never anything like this. So I [...]
I seems that everyone at the Hole is busy today, perhaps bailing out from the great deluge that is pounding Korea this week.
Q: What do you do when there is nothing happening at your blog?
A: See what other folks are doing at their blog.
Frist we have Cathartidae…. Oops. It seems that he is dealing with disasters of [...]
