Those Crazy Koreans

Korean politics are fun to follow. They have fist fights and actual violence. Not just name calling.

Here's a link to a recent story of why following Korean politics is so much fun:

And here is a video I found on Youtube. I'm not sure if it is what was written in the article. Even if not, it still shows how much fun they have. Ahhhhhh, repressed homosexuality.....

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.

And there's a ton of amazing (AMAZING) still photographs on Flickr.
