After having read The Aquariums of Pyongyang, I knew what to expect with this book, the tale of Soon Ok Lee&#8217;s 6 years in a North Korean labor camp.
First of all, it&#8217;s all the same to call it a labor camp, a concentration camp, a death camp, a prison, when speaking of prison camps in [...]

It has been said to me by a Korean that this generation of Koreans is not enthusiastic about reunification with North Korea or its collapse. They know it would me a huge aid and rebuilding debt they would have to pay. It&#8217;s pretty disheartening. Sometimes I think I have a deeper loathing for Kim Jong [...]

Yet again, primitive and barbaric behavior has been directed against innocent animals at a protest demonstration in Korea. In the picture above, pheasants are being slaughtered at a rally against Japan&#8217;s reiterated claims to territorial rights of Dokdo, a small group of rocky islands between Korea and Japan. Japan had published the claims in some [...]

I told you we wouldn&#8217;t have to wait long for more white trash news.
It was only a week or two ago on 60 Minutes that I saw segment on Interpol. They interviewed the man in charge, who is certainly working to make some changes. What a dynamic guy! On that segment they mentioned the reverse [...]

I had to laugh at the beginning of a post from seoulbuffoon, entitled &#8220;White trash among English teachers,&#8221; on the latest antics  of said trash in Korea. Here&#8217;s how he starts it off.
There they go again!
The white trash in Korea are hogging the headlines for all the wrong reasons, as usual.
Hilarious. He was responding [...]

Thursday, Aug. 2:
My wife&#8217;s best friend&#8217;s sister-in-law committed suicide this morning. She opted for the method I discussed in my earlier post, the ever-popular leaping from an apartment balcony.
The news was relayed to me by my wife over Google chat in the early afternoon. Initially it was only that she had mysteriously died.  And [...]

(My apologies for some of the pixelated photographs that follow. I would most certainly have shown the uncensored versions if I could have obtained them.)

A primitive mentality operates behind the idea of seeking out scapegoats as objects of sin. It is a delusional action that goes back to the days before science and rationality. Yet [...]

The two favorite methods for committing suicide in Seoul, and probably throughout Korea, are hanging and tossing yourself out of an apartment building. The first method would appear to be the choice of celebrities. The second method probably scores highest as the one preferred by everyone else. This is partly because thousands upon thousands of [...]

We found our pet rabbit, Panda, on the edge of a forested area of Seoul National University campus. How did it get there? Well, someone probably left her&#8212;I mean, dumped her in the area. For Koreans in Seoul, it&#8217;s a common practice, when animals have outlived their usefulness, to head for one of mountainous spots [...]

Everyone&#8217;s in on it. The scammers are, of course. The hospitals are because they get revenue from patients unnecessarily taking up hospital beds and having needless tests. The insurance companies are because they know the hospitals are in on it yet they do nothing about it. The government must be because it&#8217;s apparently doing nothing [...]

Unfortunately, the following is not about sex and molestation, booze and drugs, so I&#8217;m sorry to disappoint. Foreigner excesses in those areas have either declined or simply haven&#8217;t reached the news. I certainly hope this isn&#8217;t going to be a trend.
In the meantime, here&#8217;s something else foreigners are getting in trouble for in Korea: visa [...]

It&#8217;s trash like this that gives Korea a bad name. Here he is caught with his pants down, drinking beer, doing drugs and no doubt he sleeps with a lot of Korean girls (actresses and such).

This sculpture, one of the many scattered around Seoul&#8217;s Olympic Park, struck me as appropriate for the theme of this post, which is on murder and mayhem. I&#8217;ll mainly concentrate on the all-too-fashionable subject of serial killers, as there&#8217;s one on the loose in Seoul at the moment.
He struck last year in locations around south-western [...]

Testimony of

North Korean prison camp survivor
Seoul, South Korea
June 21, 2002
I was a normal gullible North Korean citizen, loyal to Leader and Party, and believed that North Korea was a people&#8217;s paradise. I was the Director of the Government Supply Office for party cadres for 14 years when I was arrested in 1984 [...]
