Reuters, citing a study by the Korea Development Institute (KDI), reports that “North Korea’s international trade dropped last year for the first time in more than a decade.” The report suggests that this was mostly the consequence of sanctions, but a closer look at the evidence it was The Great Confiscation that really brought trade across the Chinese border to ...

Cho, 40, immigrated with his family to the U.S. at age seven, and went to high school in Chicago. He majored in political science and sociology at Iowa State University, and since ... [Link]

I looked around to see this report because I would be very interested on who else the added to it: A conservative group has released a preliminary list of what it says are pro-North Korean figures it will include in its official register of offenders. The “Committee for the Normalization of the State” held a news conference on Friday to ... [Link]

Bong Joon-ho's MOTHER gets a limited release in the United States today, and so far the reviews are very good -- 87 percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, and an 80 metascore on Metacritic (which I find more useful than RT). Manohla Dargis at the New York Times gives the film a glowing review. And even more interesting, the New York ... [Link]

동탄지역의 원활한 교통수요에 대처하고자 병점차량사업소 내에 새롭게 서동탄역이 만들어졌습니다. 이제 경부선에서 기존 천안, 신창, 병점, 광명행 외에 서동탄행까지 등장하게 되었네요. 서동탄역 개통에 따라 병점역이 환승역이 되었습니다. 하지만 서동탄역 개통 이후에도 병점역에는 행선지안내판에 기존의 세마역만 표기되어 있네요. 빨리 조치를 취해야 할듯~ 서동탄역 승강장.. 섬식으로 이루어져 있고 전동차는 랜덤방식으로 진입합니다. 하지만 배차간격이 너무 넓어 거의 한 승강장만 사용하게 되죠. 모든 병점행이 서동탄행이 ... [Link]

I haven’t really had much of an opinion yet on this whole Eric Massa controversy raging in the US, but after reading how he is yet another VoteVets tool, I would be very careful to believe anything this guy has to say: Massa was endorsed by the tough guy Veterans Political Action Committee (PAC) VoteVets. VoteVets is led by tough ... [Link]

South Korea may have reversed the "missing women" phenomenon. The OECD says rich nations must work to close the gender pay gap, especially in South Korea and Japan, where the gap is widest. Educators are pushing to have Chinese characters brought back as an elementary school elective, which point the way to it returning as a compulsory subject. Minority newborns ... [Link]

I’m going to put up this guide, most likely not for those currently at SNU, but for those in the future. While it’s aimed at SNU students there is no doubt some of it can also be applicable to others. Now that I’ve been in Korea for over a month and attended school for over a week I thought I’d ...

Go canucks.
The Canadian army marches on its donuts and coffee filled stomach.
yes, i knew that.
Tim’s goes where our soldiers go! Tim Horton’s was also just ranked the number 1 best managed company in Canada.
I never drank as much Tim Horton’s coffee, or any other coffee for that matter, as when I was in the army. We’d have a guy go for a run at about 7:30 to 8:00 am, then we’d send him for another before lunch, then another for ‘tea time’, and then the last one after dinner. Most of us ordered larges.
Great. Now I’m craving a walnut crunch.
