There are some very interesting things coming to light as the new President tries to form her Cabinet. I don't really feel like I can add any useful commentary...it pretty much speaks for itself: (from The Korea Times) "Illegal drug use, gambling suspected in sex scandal" and (from Korea Joongang Daily) "Defense minister nominee bows out" and "Vice minister of justice resigns in wake of scandal".

Adventures in Gyeonggi-do Part 2 - Spicy Glabi Jjim
In the town of Guri, about 30km from Seoul, you will find a restaurant called 만송골 갈비탕 (Mansonggol Galbi Tang) where they specialise in a range of beef rib-based dishes. The menu consists of Galbi Tang (a beef rib soup in a light stock with vegetables), regular Galbi Jjim (which I wrote about here) and...*drum roll*... Spicy Galbi Jjim!

Adventures in Gyeonggi-do Part 1 - Namhansanseong
Gyeonggi-do is a province neighbouring Seoul and therefore always a popular destination for a weekend day out. In celebration of the temperature no longer dropping below zero overnight, on Sunday morning the three of us bundled into the car for some outdoor activities. About 25km from central Seoul you will find Namhansanseong - which translates to South Han Mountain Fortress - with its fresh (ish) air, birds, hiking trails and plethora of restaurants.
