If you don’t follow The Boston Globe’s Big Picture Series, you are missing out on some great photos. Their recent post is titled Peering into North Korea and they have some great shots taken from across the Chinese border. Apparently most North Korean soldiers don’t appreciate having their photos taken.
Don’t Stare! 뭘봐?

Seoul Grand Park Zoo is recommending that visitors wear special glasses that prevent people from appearing to be staring at the animals. This supposedly makes the animals feel better.
The image above and text below is from the Chosun Ilbo.
Visitors wearing them can peep at the animals through a small hole punched
in the glasses. Seoul Grand Park made such glasses to reduce the risk of animals
feeling threatened or challenged when strangers glare at them.
They could just give all the animals this t-shirt from Babo Shirts. (Speaking of Babo Shirts, how much does facebook advertising cost? Their advertising is literally on my screen everytime I log in.)

Damon and I had a great time walking around near Jogaysa and City Hall. We went to Queens Head Saturday night and had our fill of chicken and Weizen. Today we walked around Central Park and then went to Suwon. Damon left for the long bus ride back to his home near Busan. It was a great chance to catch up. I can’t believe that it has been close to two years since we have met up.
