ROK Drop Weekly Linklets - 04MAY08

The Koreas
London Korean Links has a good posting about K-blogs ranked by a formula called Blog Juice.  I’m a little suspect about this ranking formula, because for the life of me I don’t understand how One Free Korea is ranked so low?  If you are not reading OFK you should.
- Fascinating write up by Cho Se-hyon about his trip to Kaesong in North Korea.  A must read.
-  So does anyone think the Sports Chosun would print a picture like this if it was an American Army soldier instead of a ROK Army soldier committing the rape?
-  Has everyone seen Nomad’s dream boat?
-  Maybe this couple could start their own "Seoul Ink" show?
-  Here is one hot Korean chick for you all to check out. 
-  Maybe that hot Korean chick could go help move some of these vehicles for Brian?
Will this stop the South Korean educational system from teaching ant-US propaganda?
Are these the new teachers that will teach this new curriculum? If so the Korean educational system is really screwed.
Here is a good explanation for this "difference of culture".
-  A good look at what Yeouido looked like before all the buildings were constructed there.
-  Who knew that the Japanese had such a large garrison on Cheju Island in wait of a final showdown against allied soldiers during World War II that was only prevented by the dropping of the two atomic bombs?
-  Everyone’s favorite lawyer Brendon Carr is happy because he is still needed in Korea.  
-  Here is something new comers to Korea definitely need to get used to and no I don’t know what is in the briefcases.
-  I agree Sohn Hak-kyu apparently doesn’t understand.

Japan
-  The Japanese do seem to have a thing for phallus festivals.
Speaking of phalluses
-  If you wonder how much it costs to live in Tokyo, here is a good breakdown of living of expenses there. 
Interesting look at stereotypes held by Americans and the Japanese. 
-  An airman from Misawa AB has been arrested for groping a Japanese woman.  Get this he was drunk.
-  Is there a salaryman that surfs for more porn at work then this guy?
-  This has to be the coolest apartment complex ever.

China
-  I guess it shouldn’t be to surprising China is seeing a massive drop in Japanese tourists.  Any bets if foreign tourism drops overall in China?
-  The new Red Guards were not only causing trouble in Seoul, but even in Auckland, New Zealand where no Olympic torch relay was even held. 
-  So what do foreigners really know about China?  Find out here.
-  I agree, the Olympic torch relay would have went a whole lot smoother if they were the ones carrying the torch
-  Obviously the Chinese have learned sex sells, even if it has nothing to do with what your selling.
-  It appears Chinese women are having problems getting some satisfication
