International marriages in Korea
Attending the wedding of a close friend recently, I felt a pang of melancholy. This chum, a 50-year-old, Seoul-based American entrepreneur, was the last man among my circle of friends who had managed to remain a bachelor. Now he, too, had succumbed to the inevitable.

11/11/11: 'Turn Toward Busan?'
At 11:00 a.m. on Nov. 11, 1918, the thunder of artillery ceased and silence fell over a devastated continent. After four years of unprecedented carnage, World War I was over. Alas, this manic apocalypse would not be "The War to End All Wars." The devilry would be repeated two decades hence, on an even greater scale. Even so, World War I stripped war of its glamour: the scale of the devastation and the butchery left the victorious nations numbed.

Defining Korea: 'Land of Extremes?'
Ever heard of an “elevator speech?” If not, permit me to explain. The term references the ability to accurately and memorably describe the key points of someone or something in a concise manner - i.e. as if you were asked to describe something by someone you were sharing an elevator with, and had to provide that information in the short time before the elevator reaches the questioner’s floor.

Green Korea: Streams, trees and LEDs
Like many Seoulites, I was gob-smacked when I first got an eyeful of the restored Cheonggyecheon Stream, unveiled in 2005.

Incheon Asiad PR howlers
The Incheon Asian Games are drawing to a close and, judging by some articles in this newspaper, not a moment too soon. Granted, the 2014 Incheon Asian Games were always under a shadow of one kind or another.

Improving manners of Koreans
So there I was last week, sitting in the back of a Seoul taxi minding my own business and innocently hoping to get quietly to my destination. Did I say quietly? No such luck.

'Korean Cool' is hot in books
In late 2012, the globe was gobsmacked when a mutant hit by an unknown artist - "Gangnam Style" by Psy - stormed across the Interweb.

Time for Saemaul Undong II?
An agricultural Armageddon is fast approaching.In 1994, Korea obtained a 10-year waiver against opening its rice market, then negotiated a 10-year extension. Under World Trade Organization rules, that extension cannot be renewed.

'Comfort women' as political footballs
Diplomatically, Seoul and Tokyo have daggers drawn. The issue is the "comfort women" - a sour euphemism used to describe those Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Southeast Asian and even (a few) European women who were recruited, tricked, coerced or forced to serve in brothels ("comfort stations") set up to service the Japanese military during the Pacific War.

Seoul's Beijing lean
Talk about a love fest. Few diplomatic tete-a-tetes are as good natured as that between South Korean President Park Geun-hye and Chinese President Xi Jinping last week. This is the fifth time the two have met - although both only entered office in early 2013 - and their rapport was correspondingly warm. Along with the ongoing capitalistic transformation of North Korea's economy, South Korea's ever-increasing lean towards China is one of the least reported regional stories in global media.
