- I guess this news has been big all over Korean blogs or expat blogs. Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (SMOE) is set to phase out native English teachers in public schools by 2014. (source here and here) If this deal does happen, I'm going to assume that there will be more native English teachers applying for a position at private English hagwons in Korea. Will this mean we are going to see less Gyopo (Korean-American) gangsters at private hagwons with fake degrees??? I hope so. (another source)
- Through the eyes of Zhu Feng, his view of North Korea. (TheInterpreter) I recommend reading this article if you wanted to know what China's view of North Korea is.
- This is a good news for me. Korean national football team coach, Cho Kwang-rae is fired. I never liked the guy and his style of coach. It felt like Korea's football went back to the 80s.
- This news is little old, but as I mentioned before, KORUS FTA passed in Korea after some fight and some idiot threw a tear gas during the parliamentary session. (source) But do you know what? I'm not embarrassed at all about it. This is how we get things done in Korea. Hell yeah~
- The idiot who threw a tear gas during the parliamentary session for KORUS FTA (his name is Kim Sun-dong btw), became a national hero AND he escaped punishment.
- For your pleasure of learning about Korea's past, Robert Neff, one of my favorite contributing writer at KoreaTimes wrote some interesting columns about Korea's past. You can read it here and here.
