national holiday today as the country take to the voting booths.

the five candidates range from conservative to ultra conservative.

Was speaking to my mate, who worked in Korea, about this a couple of days ago.

Shame if the relations cool as they seem to be amicable these days, well in comparison to how it was.

yeah. basically south korea are no longer afraid or even care (too much) about the north. they want to see dollars.

the liberals have been booted out by a landslide. lee myung-bak is the new boy in town.

Bizarre situation that.

mad as toast. i don't get it. i hope it does not backfire.
