    Official Korean PostSecret Site 

    I found this site linked directly from PostSecret, so I figure it’s official.

    11717_99309

    It’s nice to see that this phenomenon has spread as far as Korea, and that people of other countries outside of the US are willing to share their secrets with the world.  Looks like it’s a small world afterall, huh?

      Those mentioned sites serve as outlets of people to show their true feelings or emotions…..we can even relate and reflect to some of them in some ways…..it also shows human imperfections…

      Is it really secret if so it shouldn’t be revealed anywhere. But it was nice to see a blog on this to support the person to whom you write. Thanks.

      Nice! Post Secret is one of my favorites, it’s going to be nice to read some juicy stuff in Korean.

      A great website run by author of various astrology books and great astrology researcher. This site provides e-learning option for new astrology learners to advanced researchers. You can learn and chat with the author/tutor to clear your doubts. A must for any student interested to learn true astrology

    Sites from the Grave – A Good Idea 

    Korea Girls is just one of many korea-girls-0-0-0-0-0-park-han-byul-28-754175sites from a series, the rest of which can be found on the blog’s sidebar.  The sites are all created by the same person, but unfortunately all went defunct around the turn of 2008.

    The idea was rather nice: a “pick your flavor” category of websites of beautiful Asian girls. It was quite the selection too!  It’s as diverse as Taiwan Girls, and as specific as Myanmar Girls, which I never heard of until I came across these blogs!

     
    • sollee 10:10 pm on December 27, 2008 Permalink | Reply

      Yes there are lots of beautiful Asian women….I’m also surprised at seeing Myanmar girls on that particular site….I know how strict this country is when it comes to its citizens particularly on women….

    • Helpasianwomen 2:02 pm on December 29, 2008 Permalink | Reply

      These type of sites should be blocked in all countries and I wish the governments would clamp down on such networks. I’d like to shut all these guys down as it’s an exploitation of asian women, it’s offensive a derogative means devalue them bringing more social inequalities in western societies and devalues them.

      It’s already bad enough that we are getting all these asian bride advertisements from google ads.

      What is the point of this? I believe that Asian women are the most beautiful women in the world, but is it proper to flaunt them this way? These beautiful women should be respected, honored…

    • Quality Barstools 4:22 pm on February 27, 2009 Permalink | Reply

      I think these websites focus too much on a woman’s outward beauty. Having a website for only Korean women, or Taiwanese women, makes them seem like animals at a zoo, with designated areas for viewing. It’s just too objectifying for me.

    • Information and Technology 5:59 pm on July 21, 2009 Permalink | Reply

      Even the technology is responsible for this. Experts just photoshop the cute pictures to hot and sexy and the one who has not even clocked the picture in life is been replaced in the snap. Not good for such a cute and gorgeous angels.

    Korea has the Best Airport in the World! 

    seoul_incheon_airport

    I don’t remember ever being in Incheon airport, unless I was there when I was very young. Whether I was there or not, I really want to go see how the airport is now.

    Incheon International Airport has been named ‘Best Airport in the World’ by respected business magazine Global Traveler for three years in a row.

    In a survey conducted on airport service among some 31,000 readers, Incheon International Airport scored the highest, followed by Schiphol Airport in Holland, with Singapore’s Changi Airport and Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok taking third and fourth places, respectively.

    (via Chosunilbo)

    Betel Nut Beauty 

    I never knew such a thing existed. These skimpy clothes wearing ladies sell something called betel nut. They are called Betel Nut Beauties. They sit in these glass rooms and wait for their customers to come and buy these nuts from them. At first, I thought these girls were prostitutes because this is exactly the same setting as the Korean red light district. (For reference, see the picture on this thread.)

    I am not saying that this is very shocking to me. I mean many of the products I buy and use every day are marketed in very similar ways. You can turn on the TV, at any hour, and find commercials starting sexy women selling their products with the idea of sex.

    What do you guys think of this? Has anyone actually bought these nuts before? From what I can tell, chewing and sucking on these nuts will cause oral cancer.

      I have never heard of these nuts before but I am definitely intrigued with the advertising of this product. How bizarre to have a female dressed provacatively in a glass room waiting to sell nuts. I’m sure the women get paid decent money to just sit down but is it really worth it? It’s unfortunate that sex sells.
