WOW

pardon the obvious but that seems like it would royally fuck traffic up. How did they all get there?

damn I really wanna visit SK now...
 
does PSY only play one song during his concerts? i'd like to here more.

FRom what I understand he's been doing music for over a decade and is a big star over there. He took a few years off and came back with this gangnum style album. Those 70,000 people at that concert aren't there for that one song, he's been doing that for years and years, selling out concerts.

Korea has a really good public transportation system.. Especially their subways
 
Somehow I've failed to notice this for the past 3 months. Having finally seen it I'd just like to say: WTF?
 
Dunno if this has been posted, but Psy is doing ads for Samsung kimchi refrigerators.

Today I learned that there was such a thing as a kimchi refrigerator.

Yup. When you make kimchi, it takes a lot of effort. It's about a 2-day ordeal from brineing the cabbages, making the 'suk' (fillings), fine chopping tons of ingredients, then you LITERALLY hand-by-hand put the fillings in EACH flaps of the cabbage. Now 1 cabbage has about 20-30 flaps? So it's very time consuming and labor intensive.

This is why they make kimchi in a HUGE batch and eat it year-round. Ideally people make kimchi 2-3x a year. Each batch is about a bath-tub size.

Now in the old days, people put the kimchi in huge clay pots then buried them in the ground over winter, kept cold to slow their pickling/fermentation process so they can eat it year round.

But if you live in densely populated cities like Seoul or Busan (or most of Korea actually), you don't have a yard. So they have kimchi refrigerators that can store all that kimchi. It's just a simple, top-loading fridge.

Of course, unless you have a family, it's better for youngsters and newly weds to just buy kimchi from supermarket.

The more you know.

I took my little daughter to a father/daughter dance last night and the DJ fired up Gangnam style. I could see the confused look on some of the dads standing around while a handful of the kids did the horse dance. It was funny.
 
I am teaching in South Korea and this song is EVERYWHERE! Anyway, the foreign teachers in my school have to dance to this song during the talent show. =(

Yes, Korean girls are cute but very conservative. My girlfriend is Thai.

Koreans eat kimchi morning, noon and night. And they love to drink soju.
