Odds and Ends: March 26, 2010

  • Yellow Fever! The Definitive History of Asian Men Dating Outside Their Race. Hella funny. Be sure to check out the caption on Bobby Lee. (HT to reader)
  • Blogging from SEOUL, TIME’s Michael Schuman tells us why South Korea matters: “Unfortunately, too few foreign journalists and economists have had the good fortune of such an in-depth experience with South Korea. Korea often gets lost in all of the noise about Asia’s giants, China, India and Japan. Those who do invest the time to study the place usually zero in on its six-decade face-off with Communist North Korea. And that’s a shame, since Korea has always offered priceless lessons in economic development, and continues to do so today.” I’ll make this one our MUST READ of the day.
  • Interesting piece in the Globe and Mail about director Bong Joon-ho, whose “Mother” is getting a good deal of press in North America. (HT to reader)
