      Monster Island (actually a peninsula)* » Japan's newest airport has just one flight (to Seoul)

      Posted 72 minutes ago

      In an echo of this earlier post on Yangyang's "ghost airport," we have a BBC report that Japan has opened its ninety-eighth airport amid complaints of wasteful spending: Ibaraki airport cost 22bn Yen ($220m, £147m) to build and is being seen in Japan as a prime example of wasteful public expenditure. It is located 80km (50 miles) and a long ... [Link]

      Gypsy Scholar » Saudi Irony of the Day?

      Maureen DowdFred R. Conrad, Photographer(Image from New York Times)Ms. Maureen Dowd recently traveled to Saudi Arabia to get a clearer picture of Islam and discovered something unexpected in our globalized world: It was nearly impossible for me to experience Islam in the cradle of Islam.Rather ironic, as she implicitly goes on to note in her New York Times column, "Pilgrim ...

      AMPONTAN » Japan’s cultural kaleidoscope (3)

      Posted 3 hours ago

      JAPAN MAY OR MAY NOT become the world’s next cultural hegemon, but the daily parade of cultural phenomena in this country is too immense and diverse to keep track of it all. It’s better just to let it wash all over you and enjoy whatever you can whenever it flows by. Here’s a baker’s dozen of rivulets from the recent ... [Link]

      Monster Island (actually a peninsula)* » California sushi restaurant charged with serving banned whale meat

      Posted 3 hours ago

      Maybe this whale of a tale will produce one whale of a meme which will finally chase away the meme of Korea's canine cuisine, which has been dogging the country's image for decades. I'm just glad they found the one sushi restaurant in L.A. County that's not run by Koreans. (HT to ROK Drop) From CNN: Federal authorities have charged ... [Link]

      ROK Drop » California Restaurant Raided for Serving Whale Meat

      Posted 4 hours ago

      It will be interesting to see where this sei whale meat came from: Federal authorities have charged a trendy Santa Monica sushi restaurant with serving whale meat — an investigation that was spurred by the team behind the Oscar-winning documentary, “The Cove.” Prosecutors charged Typhoon Restaurant Inc., the parent company of The Hump, and one of its chefs — Kiyoshiro ...

      One Free Korea » Kang Chol Hwan on Hamhung

      Posted 5 hours ago

      Kang Chol Hwan thinks that Kim Jong Il’s address to a mass rally in Hamhung — that is, if you’re convinced he really did address that rally –means that His Withering Majesty is determined to resist any reform of the system. That part of what Kang says is obvious enough and therefore less interesting than his description of Hamhung, which ... [Link]

      ComingAnarchy.com » Man v.s. Afghanistan: “Doubt is our modern crown of thorns”

      Posted 8 hours ago

      Article has an article in the Atlantic of epic length called Man Versus Afghanistan that goes into how the US military succeeded in Iraq, and how it is progressing in Afghanistan with the latest offensive. I would deem this article a must read —it will present a narrative on Afghanistan (and Iraq) that is almost unheard of in the current ... [Link]

      One Free Korea » Claudia Rosett on North Korean Loggers in Russia

      Posted 9 hours ago

      The defection of those two loggers at the South Korean consulate in Vladivostok inspires further thought from Claudia Rosett: I’ve seen those North Korean lumberjacks–or at least their predecessors. In 1994 I was working as a reporter for The Wall Street Journal in Moscow when a story turned up in the Russian press, saying that North Korea was running lumber ... [Link]
