ROK Drop Links of the Week 18-24DEC06

Forget the six party nuclear talks, the big news of the week had to be that Hooters is coming to Korea. Maybe the US can offer Kim Jong-il a Hooters franchise as part of a denuclearizing deal? An appreciation for big breasts is something that everyone should be able to agree upon. Call it Hooters Diplomacy. However, check this out if you just have to read something about the six party talks. It appears China may be getting itself involved in more than just North Korea negotiations as Israel has called on China to become involved in the Middle East peace process. Well if you think the six party talks are frustrating, according to some the US Embassy in Seoul is just as frustrating.

In entertainment news, make sure you check out the winners for the best commercials in Japan. Everyone remember the English Teacher movie? Well one blogger has an idea for a sequel. Also, Michael Jackson has cancelled his Christmas party in Japan to the dismay of fans. Maybe these fans can catch a Seo Tae-ji concert instead. Keeping with the Christmas spirit, here is a Japanese Christmas carol to get everyone in the Christmas mood. Also Black5 has the latest on a milblogs Christmas article in the Washington Post. Finally to end on a cheery note, here are some pictures of the Christmas lights at Seoul City Hall.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone.
