Stripper Pole Chinese Red Army

Since I have been designated as the official smut editor, I have recently been tasked to address the article entitled: From the Erotic Domain, an Aerobic Trend in China. Ironically, the very rule bearing and conservative China is now about to show a bit of a freaky side. Even more ironic however, is the fact that out of this studio of beautiful looking women, the editors decided to pick the farm girl looks creature for the first half of the video.


Dulce et propia, pro patria's bitch

Apologia on Tibet.

The tricky part of colonial studies is dealing with claims of development. The imperial apologists always make a point of showing the Signs of Progress, or how the Advanced Nation helped it's lesser brethren, albeit by the barrel of a gun. And, they usually are able to produce evidence of postive change.


Trip yourself out

It could only get better if there were ninjas, too.

Student Work - Fairy Tale

These were speaking tests for one class. Rather than give them the usual rote memorization assignment, I had them write fairy tales and give puppet shows.

Killing Machines are awesome, but Teenage Hookers aren't

While I was floating around the internets I found mention of "Teenage Hooker Became Killing Machine", or "대학로에서 매춘하다가 토막살해당한 여고생 아직 대학로에 있다", by Nam Ki-Woong. It's primary claim to fame seems to be the fact it has the longest title of any Korean movie.

[The Korean title literally translates to, as near as I can tell, "The high school girl who was dismembered while prostituting in Daehangno is still in Daehangno".]


Wherein John is a recipient of White Privilege(tm).

Odd experience.

I was studying Korean in a coffee shop when a Korean guy sitting nearby asked me for a moment of my time. It was pretty obviously a "whoa, white man" thing, but I was in a good mood so I talked with him.


Enough bitching

A lot of the expat bloggers in Korea have been bitching about the lack of South Korean uproar over the shooting of a South Korean tourist at the special tourist zone.


Student work - English Diary

This diary entry cracked me up. I'm not sure, but I think the student was deliberately playing off of the double meaning of the phrase "good for you". I made a few minor edits for readability but the words were not changed.

(Good for you)

My mother said, "good for you." Because when I watch TV my mother said, "Are you finish your homework?" and I said, "No." So my mother said again, "Turn off TV." I said, "Oh, mom." My mother said, "It's good for you."
