The Unbelievable Li Wei

Aug 7th, 2008 | By AzureWolf | Category: MISC

Chinese are creative folk.  Li Wei is a creative Chinese man (no, this isn’t leading up to a joke), so that’s saying a lot.  It’s like, chai tea, but instead of saying tea twice, Li Wei is awesome twice-over.

Although it’s obvious he uses cables, the ideas and execution are really good!  My personal favorites are [...]



Pet Boys Gaining Popularity in Korea

Aug 6th, 2008 | By AzureWolf | Category: MISC

Callgirls and prostitution has always been a lucrative avenue for women, but now some analogue for men is growing in Korea:  Pet Boys.

Pet Boys, who are often college kids in their 20’s, find “Being someone’s pet is stress free job with no financial burden at all.”
The idea came from a Japanese anime story that was [...]



World’s Smallest Ramen Bowl

Aug 5th, 2008 | By AzureWolf | Category: Food

Because science has nothing better to do, talented Japanese scientists have created the world’s smallest Ramen Bowl.  It’s not really ramen, but carbon-based nanotubes.  Still very impressive (and pointless) stuff.

Japanese scientists say they have used cutting-edge technology to create a noodle bowl so small, it can be seen only through a microscope.
The bowl was revealed [...]



Japanese Age-Old Porn… I Blame Viagra

Aug 4th, 2008 | By AzureWolf | Category: MISC, Video

This article from TIME makes you look at your grandparents differently - forever - so be warned.

Besides his glowing complexion, Shigeo Tokuda looks like any other 74-year-old man in Japan. Despite suffering a heart attack three years ago, the lifelong salaryman now feels healthier, and lives happily with his wife and a daughter in downtown [...]



Zon - Online Chinese… Something

Aug 3rd, 2008 | By AzureWolf | Category: MISC

Zon is an online MMORPG designed by Dr. Yong Zhao from Michigan State University.  The site created quite a buzz when it first became open beta (still is at the time of this writing), so I took a look.

It’s certainly cute (and it’s nice to finally have a legal passport, even if it’s only for [...]



Sites From the Grave - Asian Beauty Pic

Aug 2nd, 2008 | By AzureWolf | Category: MISC

It doesn’t look like the author updates anymore, but I thought it’d be worth sharing all the same.
Asian Beauty Pic is a pretty solid name for the blog.  Aside from interesting snippets here and there detailing the profiled women, it’s all about pics of Asian girls.  I’m not complaining, and the creator had great [...]



Cannibal Cake!

Jun 7th, 2008 | By AzureWolf | Category: Food

Ever have those times when you’re hanging out that special someone, and your gut is telling you the moment is right?  Finally, you suck it up and say, “Girl!  You’re good enough to eat!  I mean in a Hannibal sort of way.”  You know she understands you, but social standards prohibit you from pursuing the [...]



Bboy Documentary Cites Koreans as Untouchable

May 12th, 2008 | By AzureWolf | Category: Featured Articles, Movie, Video

Bboying was what made me realize that Korean was not just another word for “people with sexy eyes,” but an entire race. One of the under-appreciated parts of Hallyu is Korea’s influence and takeover of the breakdancing phenomenon that originated in the Bronx. A new video documentary, Planet B-Boy, has a few parts [...]



LiveMocha Featured in Korean News

Apr 18th, 2008 | By AzureWolf | Category: MISC

Two months ago, the language learning website LiveMocha was featured in several news media, both in print and online. Since then, the Korean base has swelled because of the promise of talking and learning English from a foreigner. It has gotten so big that the creators will be adding Korean “soon.”
You can read [...]



Philippines - Gucci Gang Controversy

Apr 2nd, 2008 | By AzureWolf | Category: Celebrity News

This event is pretty old, but it didn’t explode until ABS-CBN Newchannel TV blew it up to mass media on March 27th.  An Australian I never heard of, Brian Gorell, lost $70k to his ex-lover for a restaurant.  They were supposed to make it together, but it never manifested, and Gorell has the transfer documents [...]
