Sundubu, my favorite Korean dish.
Ya, that is me enjoying Sundubu at my favorite restaurant in Seosan South Korea.
Sundubu is a seafood stew-soup, with vegetables, mushrooms, soft tofu, clams, oysters, baby octopus, shrimp, and crab.
All in a spicy red broth.
With it come 4 different kim chee side dishes and a bowl of brown rice.
All for only $7.00.
An effen big mac cost that much and who knows what is in that.
The 500 ml (17 ounce) bottle of excellent, ice cold Korean beer cost $4.00.
Koreans drink their beer out of a glass.
So they look at me very strangely when I drink it out of the bottle. I always get a kick out of that. Lol
There is no tax or tipping in Korea, all is inclusive in the price.
One can always judge a restaurant by how clean the restrooms are.
These are absolutely spotless.
Besides they have an open kitchen so you can see what, and how they cook.
If you are in Korea during the next 4 months, email me and I'll take you out to lunch. :-)

The Blood Telegram: Nixon, Kissinger and a Forgotten Genocide by Gary J. Bass
reviewed by Peter Gordon
28 September 2013 — The “blood” in the title of this excellent account of Bangladeshi independence refers to Archer Blood, American Consul General in Dacca as the events unfolded in 1971. The telegram (a “cable” back to the U.S. State Department) was one he titled “Selective Genocide” to describe the clampdown by Pakistani forces—armed by the United States as an important Cold War ally—on political unrest. The “blood” of the title is a macabre double-entendre.

The Birth of a Eurasian Century: Russia and China Do Pipelineistan By Pepe Escobar
READ MORE
As long as we are dependent on fossil fuels, this will be the 4 center squares of the chess board.
Zbig wrote about it long ago in his book.
The American invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq was not about A/Q, or even about oil.
If they would have succeeded it would have been their gateway to Eurasia.
Iran also butts up to Eurasia, this is why Iran is always a target. Not because of nukes as MSM keeps telling you.That and the NeoZioCons want a regime change in Iran so Israel can do as they please with furthering their Zionist agenda.
Now Russia and China will be making their moves.
There will not be a stale mate.

Open air market in Seosan South Korea
This is where I go to buy our produce and seafood.
Everything one needs is right here.
Plenty of fresh seafood imagineable, produce, clothes, hardware goods, furniture, bedding, you name it.
And best of all lots of great inexpensive eating places.
I love this place.

If the War Party wins in 2016, the U.S. will prepare to fight in the Eurasian heartland, the South China Sea, and the resource-rich lands of Africa. If we’re lucky, we’ll avoid any outright conflict. But the price will nevertheless be bankruptcy. (Photo: U.S. Army / Flickr)
