ROK Drop Links of the Week 11-17DEC06
If you haven’t had enough foreigner discrimination in Korea well the Big Hominid broke the story about the Pusan 9 Scandal followed by being blown wide open by the Marmot’s Hole. The Metropolitician has more on foreigner discrimination by describing how he was targeted by Kyunghyang Shinmun for teaching (gasp!) pro-Japanese propaganda! How dare he do such a thing? This independently produced movie isn’t going to help matter either, as it will only confirm what Koreans already believe about ex-pats and worse. Here is further evidence that Korea and Japan have more in common than they like to admit. Speaking of foreigner discrimination is Rosie guilty of it too?
In USFK news, we all knew the Yongsan moved was going to be delay the question that remains is how long? The delay has Camp Humphreys business owners angered and they say they are ready to take action. It is always humorous to see the con-men get conned themselves every once in a while.
The Asia Pages is back this week after a blogging hiatus and features an interesting read about Korean Business Ethics. Speaking of business, just like in Seoul, Japan now has their very own Krispy Kreme. This blogger gives his reasons why Krispy Kreme will fail in Japan.
The most important news of the week for all you Canadian readers out there, the Daily Kimchi has the latest on where to buy maple syrup in Korea. If anyone is into radishes here is a radish festival that some of you may find of interest; especially when it involves hot Taiwanese models. If you are not into radishes than maybe you can go to Kazakhstan and preach the wonders of lettuce there.
What does a Mongolian herdsman, the world’s tallest man, and dolphins have in common? Well find out here.
In milblog news, Blackfive5 has a story of someone you should know about but don’t. I never really cared much for Dennis Miller before but it may not be the case anymore. Also read the latest from Bill Roggio embedded in Fallujah. Finally Milblogs and myself would like to wish everyone a Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas:
