“…Not to mention that there’s been so much intra-Korean pride nonsense that’s been marketed around these two projects, so it could be embarrassing to the SK government and corporations tied up in this to just close up shop and abandon the whole thing”

That’s especially true if they’re abandoning these intra-Korean projects because it’s the Meeguks that are forcing them to.

If they came to the frame of mind that the projects had to stop all on their own, it might happen. But this South Korean government is unlikely to be seen to be taking orders from the Bush administration. You know, kowtowing and all that.

I think the US would accept the Kaesong project if North and South Korea could agree to expand it up to Wonsan and across to Pyongyang.

Sorry, forgot to add the link in comment # 27 (not that I’m asking anyone to spend time reading it): http://www.wilsonweb.com/wmt6/html-email-fonts.htm

There’s a lot of stuff about fonts and readability on the Web: just search in Google for . I suppose each article says something different, but this one acknowledges that whereas in print, serif fonts (like Times New Roman) are easier to read, sans serif (like Arial, etc.) is more readable on computers because of screen resolution issues. Anyhow, it includes side-by-side comparisons of different fonts in various sizes so one can see for oneself.

So stick with the sans serif, but make it bigger! (Please)

Yeah, the font’s being defined on your side… Helvetica, is it?

Robert (#21): I was about to claim that serif fonts are more readable and ask you to switch back, but according to this article, that’s only true in print, and the ideal font for onscreen use is a sans serif one…by the looks of it, Verdana 10 point.

Anyhow, assuming the font I’m seeing on my browser is defined by your template (and is not my own browser settings), the text is quite hard to read as it is right now…the letters are too narrow and/or small.

we of the Royal Asiatic Society - Korea Branch have canceled our tour to the Diamond Mountains for expats that was scheduled for the end of this month, on which i might have been the guide — things have just become too troubled, politically morally militarily and so on…

This will be a fantastic vantage point to view the nuclear bombs detonation over Seoul. Make sure to get your tickets as soon as possible for the fireworks.

Interesting is how many of my Korean students have actually been to Kimgang-san. Quite a few.
