Passing Legislation - KOREAN STYLE!

In this interesting video clip, we see how the South Korean government follows the traditional democratic principle of brawling with fellow legislators in order to discuss and pass laws. If only we could be so organized in the United States, we might finally have something done regarding universal health care.

Watch the video here.

Korean War videos

The United States Army has just released a large number of videos from the Korean War to YouTube. I've only looked at a few, including the one here, but some of them are very interesting for the way they are produced. The narration and the accompanying music are quite dramatic. Apparently this was shown on television in the 1950s. It is an interesting look into what is a forgotten war in the US, but a specter that lingers every day in Korea.

Skip to around 6:30 for footage of the American invasion of Seoul. If those really are pictures of the city, it's amazing to see how much development has happened.

Kickin' it in Geumchun

At first, I scoffed, but then I thought how amazingly well they captured Korea. I could go for a corndog right now.

The Mustangs

I got my first 'Video Response' today from YouTube. Over a year ago, I posted a video I took of a kickass rock band in Seoul, Korea called The Mustangs. Somebody responded to that video with this one taken from a television station in Seoul. They're on TV!
