Oh dear, download ep 19 of the SeoulPodcast (www.seoulpodcast.com). Joe relates how he and a couple other bloggers were dragged into a meeting by the city to instruct the author of the latest LP guide that his opinions were wrong. Brilliant. One funny story. The food section the city hall guy is raving that rice should be first in the list. Rice is very important. The author points out the LP style is to list all items alphabetically. The Korean doesn't follow. Seoul should be different. Because it's Seoul.
Oh lord. |

I don't listen to a lot of podcasts (really enjoying Midnight Runner though), but goddamn - I'm 10-minutes in and I have no idea what they're going on about! Just seems like casual conversation with people going off on limitless tangents...
What part of the podcast do they talk about the LP incident Mindmetoo? I don't feel like listening to 3 hours of this. |

It is a long one. It is in the first half of the show. They get into it fairly quickly. |

does the seoul city govt really think by griping at bloggers they are going get the lonely planet author to change his views towards korean food etc?
me thinks there needs to be drug testing of these seoul city officials, they've been smoking something really strange |

Who needs pot when you have kimchi?
Could it be that kimchi is a mind altering drug?
You bet!
Try eating kimchi for breakfast, lunch and dinner for one week.
Then go for a week without having any kimchi.
See if you notice any difference in your ability to think clearly.
For many people, your brain on kimchi is like listening to a hifi with the tuner set to static, blaring full blast. Just watch your students after lunch.
Or put another way, it is like having your brain's dendrons and synapses light up like a steady stream of exploding fireworks.
Kimchi is so dangerous it should be illegal. |
