N.Koreans Love Choco Pie

Posted on english.chosun.com

If there’s one South Korean product that all North Korean workers in the Kaesong Industrial Complex know about, it’s Choco Pie. According to factory owners in the Kaesong complex, some businesses there began passing out the snacks to their North Korean workers in 2005 to boost morale, which led to explosive popularity of the product among workers, and now most businesses there have followed suit. A Kaesong complex staffer said 150,000 of the snacks are probably consumed each day at the industrial compound, and Orion, the South Korean makers of the product, send up between 10,000 to 20,000 boxes of the snack during holidays.

In South Korea, Drinks Are on the Maple Tree

Posted on jejugrs.com

HADONG, South Korea — At this time of year, when frogs begin stirring from their winter sleep and woodpeckers drill for newly active insects, villagers climb the hills around here to collect a treasured elixir: sap from the maple tree known as gorosoe.

Every year, Hadong produces 317,000 gallons of sap.

“It’s important to have the right weather,” said Park Jeom-sik, 56, toting plastic tubs up a moss-covered slope. “The temperature should drop below freezing at night and then rise to a warm, bright, windless day. If it’s rainy, windy or cloudy, the trees won’t give.”

For centuries, southern Korean villagers like Mr. Park have been tapping the gorosoe, or “tree good for the bones.”

The Korean Films

Posted on prkorea.com

Korean movie has achieved amazing success since 1996. In the past time, Korean movie had difficulty against Hollywood movies. Most Koreans prefer Hollywood movies to Korean movies due to the fact that the quality of Korean movies was inferior to American movies. But young directors and movie staff tried to improve Korean movies through introducing advanced skills in writing, shooting, planing, editing films in spite of many difficulties.

The Interesting Feature of Korean Chopsticks is that Those Are Made of Metal.

Posted on prkorea.com

Chopsticks are one of most unique culture in East Asia. Chopsticks have amazingly long history comparing with a folk. Ancient Chinese used chopsticks 3000 years ago and those were made of bronze. Chopsticks were introduced to Korea 1800 years ago and to Japan 1400 years ago with rice. A folk, however, has been used in Europe since 14th century.

 

All of Korean, Chinese and Japanese use chopsticks when they eat a meal. In a point of Western people’s view, they seem to use same chopsticks but it is not true. You can find that each country use different chopsticks in different ways if you look at it carefully.

Why do Koreans eat dog meat?

Posted on prkorea.com

For many period times, Koreans have eaten Bosintang as a priceless invigorating soup. Some foreigners expressed awful feelings about eating doggy meat. But have you ever thought the reason why Koreans have eaten dog meat?

 

You may ask that Koreans can have beef or pork. But it couldn’t be accepted for Koreans to have beef or pork to get high proteins before Korea became modernized country. Cows provided much labors for farming and pigs were valuable properties for most Koreans. Therefore it was very hard to have pork or beef meats for common people. Only rich and royals had meats for only few days per a year.

All about Daum’s “road view” (kind of like Google Street View)

Posted on pagef30.com

This service was released in January of this year and I don’t think it’s gotten the fanfare it deserves. Daum is kind of comparable to Microsoft in that it was first on the scene when the internet first became well-known in the 90s, and for a while it was the site to go to. It was eventually replaced by Naver as the number one search engine and portal. This time though they’ve beaten their competitors to the punch by investing a ton of money to drive around Seoul and Gyeonggi-do (the province surrounding the capital city) and create their version of Street View, which they call Road View (로드뷰). Here’s what it looks like:

This is an intersection by COEX (an international convention centre) and a temple known as Bongeun-sa, where all the friendly cats are. The interface is all in Korean though so I’ll explain how to use it (it’s almost the same).

‘로드뷰’ 검색에 성매매 여성 등장 ‘허걱!’

Posted on newdaily.co.kr Via uk.asiancorrespondent.com

국내 한 포털사이트가 운영 중인 360도 거리사진을 확인할 수 있는 ‘로드뷰’에 ‘신세계길’ 홍등가 모습이 적나라하게 드러나 물의를 빚고 있다.

블로그 ‘다다익선(http://jjangdd.tistory.com)’의 운영자 양연철 씨는 14일 “우연히 ○○ ‘로드뷰’를 둘러 보다…영등포 지역을 찾아 봤더니…그 곳엔 아직 떠나지 못한 몇 명의 아가씨가 손님을 기다리고 있었다”며 로드뷰 상에 드러난, 한 때 성매매 집결지로 유명했던 지역의 현재 모습을 공개했다.

양씨가 공개한 사진 속 풍경은 신세계 백화점 서울 영등포점 뒷 편에 이어진 길로 ‘철거 대상’에 오른 구역이다. 그러나 아직도 부분적으로 성매매가 이뤄지고 있음을 증명하듯 홍등가 유리창 사이로 탱크탑 혹은 비키니 차림의 상의를 걸친 성매매 여성들이 손님을 기다리고 있는 모습이 선명하게 찍혀있는 것을 볼 수 있다.

특히 사진 속에는 ‘신세계길’이라는 글자와 화살표가 있고 이곳의 지리를 모르는 사람도 로드뷰를 검색하면 쉽게 위치를 파악할 수 있게 돼 있어 사실상 집창촌을 안내하는 역할을 하고 있는 셈이다.

이에 대해 한 네티즌은 “홍등가를 촬영할 때 성매매 여성이 고스란히 담겨 있었음에도 불구하고 이같은 사진을 그대로 방치했다는 점은 도저히 간과할 수 없는 부분”이라며 “더욱이 로드뷰 검색을 통해 해당 위치가 소상히 소개됐다는 점에서 일부 청소년에게 악영향을 끼칠 수도 있었던 만큼, 앞으론 지도 제작시 이같은 부분에 좀더 신경을 썼으면 좋겠다”는 의견을 내비쳤다.
