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.
