William Sisson posted a discussionAnyone for a Candlelight Demonstration?
A few years ago thousands of Koreans protested importing beef from the USA due to the fear of contracting Mad Cow disease. I think they even included beef from Canada as well. Although no one actually was infected in Korea, the media (MBC), Korean beef farmers and university students made up the major portion of the demonstrators. Not a very proud moment being an American in Seoul.Today I read the following article about the FDA pulling shellfish imported from Korea due to the possibility of…See More

Putri A.P. Santoso said… Hi william thanks for the info ^^, Yeah I'm interested in Kpop&Korean Wave issues, so far I just observe about the phenomenon and deliver my thought about it, I'm quite surprised that this issue has already been taken as a subject ^^ which is a good news^^, I'm learning Korean now and I'm very interested in languages and the cultures ^^. I'm planning to go to Korea this nov or jan 2012. And I wonder if you'd like to give me some advice as a non western foreigner to get a job in a multinational company/Korean company?. I'm thinking to start a business on my own but since am very young n lack of experiences so I decided to take 3/4 years to do it and working overseas instead.
Regards
