George Silver: February 2007
http://georgesilver.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
A Hellene, the Adventures of. Friday, February 23, 2007. Korean Cuisine - Ssambap. On Tuesday I was lucky enough to try 'ssambap'(쌈밥) for lunch with my salsa teacher. 'Ssambap' is this. After lunch, we grabbed a coffee from what I thought was Starbucks. I was wrong. Apparently, this is a small chain in Korea. There is also a place called "Stardaks" which sells chicken. 'Dak' is Korean for chicken. SO, my mission is to find where this place is and try their chicken. Maybe it's Seattle-style. The DMZ is th...

George's Odyssey: Of beaches and beef
http://joji1909.blogspot.com/2008/07/beach.html
Monday, 7 July 2008. Of beaches and beef. My reservations at what might have been a bad weekend, the beach was great! Even though I'm Australian, and the most common question I get asked is "Do you surf? It has been years since I had been to the beach. I was never a Bondi. Away than throwing some tea tree. Branches on the fire. In other words, we'll gladly let you fight for us, but don't you dare try to tax us for the service. That being said;. Will require all restaurants serving beef to specify the cou...

George's Odyssey: Crazy Cows
http://joji1909.blogspot.com/2008/06/crazy-cows.html
Monday, 2 June 2008. Have a propensity for mass action. Take the candle-lit vigils in protest of the government opening up the Korean market to US beef imports. Generally, candle-lit vigils are for when a public figure passes away or to raise awareness of a natural disaster ( China earthquake. I can understand why people would have these fears, irrational as they are. Mad Cow disease ( BSE. Or 'crazy cow' as they insist on calling it here, and it's human version, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. It seems Korea...

George's Odyssey: Clamp down
http://joji1909.blogspot.com/2008/07/clamp-down.html
Monday, 14 July 2008. Is clamping down on 'dissidents' for the Olympics which are due to start on August 8, 2008 (08/08/08). By clamping down they mean removing vagrants and other undesirables to anywhere but Beijing. Of course, civil rights groups are up in arms on this latest abuse of human rights. Said something about a nationalist's ability to not only condemn heinous human rights abuses. By the 'enemy' but to also completely ignore any abuses committed by their own country.

George's Odyssey: Red Cliff
http://joji1909.blogspot.com/2008/07/red-cliff.html
Sunday, 20 July 2008. Was much better than I expected. Every character was as I had imagined; Zhou. Son (who would later destroy all his father had created); Guan. Heroics. For those not in the know, the Battle of Red Cliff marked the beginning of the Three Kingdoms period in China (220 - 280AD). Unfortunately, though rather predictably, Cao. Is portrayed as a lecher obsessed with making Xiao. His wife/concubine/lover/etc. In the film, Xiao. Is played by 林志玲. Army My favourite has always been Zhang.
