Reporter: “Unqualified Foreigner Marijuana Hamburger… Zzzzt… Zzzzt… Drugs… Zzzzt… Sexual Harassment Overpaid… Zzzzt”
I feel there is no shame in saying that I have no idea what point the author of this unsigned Newswire piece was trying to make, but clearly their anti-English teacher software neeeds to be updated. I do have to say I really enjoyed the colorful metaphors used to describe the effect of those famous low-quality English teachers on Korean society.
NK Escapee to Continue Anti-China Demonstration
A North Korean escapee in the United States has vowed to continue her solo demonstration protesting China’s forced repatriation of North Korean asylum seekers.
Cho Jin-hae was originally scheduled to hold a news conference early Tuesday, Korean time, in Washington, but had to cancel as she was unable to leave the hospital where she was receiving treatment. She has been hospitalized since she lost consciousness earlier on Saturday ― the 14th day of her hunger strike ― in front of the Chinese embassy in Washington.
A Korean pastor who is helping Cho told KBS that Cho’s health is in a poor state, and although she is unable to continue her hunger strike, she plans to continue a one-person demonstration until the end of the Beijing Olympics.
Cho settled in Seattle after she was granted asylum in March of this year. She met President George W. Bush late last month.

Korea Studies Scholar Speaks on Dokdo
The scholar in question is Robert Buswell, whose memoir of life as a Buddhist monk I have now got to read. Anyway, when he spoke on Dokdo, the Joongang Ilbo listened. The Korea Times was more interested in his thoughts on how to grow Korean Studies in the USA.
