The Korea Post notices:

Proudly introduce the traditional foods of your country:

I am pleased to inform Your Excellency that The Korea Post is publishing a Special Report in all its five media units (two in Korean and three in English) to introduce the regular food table of each country.

This is in preparation for the Grand Exhibition of Food Tables of the World to be shown to over half a million people expected to visit the 2015 Namyangju Slow Life Planet Festival on October 8-17, 2015.

Please email to edt@koreapost.com a copy of the regular Food Table of your country for publication in The Korea Post and also at the Exhibition Center of the 2015 Namyangju Festival for a duration of 10 days.

In Korea, the table normally consists of a bowl of rice, a bowl of guk (watery soup), a bowl of Jjigae (stew), a dish of roast fish, a dish of Namul (seasonal greens) and a number of other dishes (small pancakes, steamed eggs, fried bean curds, jelly, etc.). The number of bowls and dishes differ depending on the financial status of the family and on the different occasions. On such festive occasions as Seollal (Lunar New Year’s Day) and Chuseok (Autumn Full Moon Festival), the number of foods and variety are much larger than at normal time, and each has a specific food item that must not be left out, eg., Ddeokguk (rice cake soup) on the New Year’s Day and Songpyeon (stuffed small rice cake in a half-moon shape. (Please call 010-5201-1740 for further details.)

Send your news releases and feedback:

Send the Embassy news releases to edt@koreapost.com for publication by all its five media units, including one Korean (www.koreapost.co.kr) and one English (www.koreaposst.com) Internet dailies, which are updated real-time. (Call 010-5201-1740 for further details.)

Today’s humor:

Hankuk Kyungje

Canine Bodyguard

The woman, a truck driver, had decided to get a dog for protection. She went to a dog-training center and looked around with the trainer.

Pointing to one, he told her, “He doesn’t like men.” It’s a perfect one, she thought.

Then one day she was approached by two men in a parking lot and she watched to see how her bodyguard would react.

It was clear that the trainer wasn’t kidding.

As the men got closer, the dog ran under the nearest car.

Hankyoreh Shinmoon (http://english.hani.co.kr)

US missile industry running into limits, seeking overseas buyers

Possible deployment of THAAD in South Korea could be related to US trying to overcome its own budget limitations

Various reports confirm a growing sense not only among the leaders of the US’s army and navy but also in the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) that the country’s current strategy for missile defense is running into limitations. Not only are sharp cuts in the defense budgets making it hard for the US military to cover the massive cost of developing and acquiring these weapons systems, but there are unanswered questions about their reliability.

Former US official agrees that THAAD won’t work well for S. Korea

A former senior official in the US Defense Department who was in charge of testing the performance of new weapons has stated his agreement with the analysis of the Hankyoreh and American scholars who raised questions about the performance of THAAD (Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense), a system of interceptors used in missile defense. This official also warned that deploying THAAD to the Korean Peninsula would launch an arms race with North Korea and China. .

Number of foreign residents in S. Korea triples over ten years

The number of foreign residents in South Korea has more than tripled over the past 10 years. The Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs (MOGAHA) reported on July 5 that, as of Jan. 1, 2015, there were 1,741,919 foreign residents of South Korea, accounting for 3.4% of the registered population. .

American monk communicates meaning of Buddhism to Korean kids

It was the morning of July 5 at Mugak Temple in downtown Gwangju. “We do yoga, too. It isn’t hard, it’s fun,” said Lee Ji-won, 12, a student in the sixth grade of elementary school. .

International body says S. Korea’s climate policy is “inadequate”

Climate Action Tracker (CAT), a Europe-based organization that assesses and analyzes climate policy, rated the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) that the South Korean government submitted to the UN on as June 30 as being “inadequate.” This is the lowest grade on a four-point scale that includes “role model,” “sufficient,” “medium,” and “inadequate.” .

Study: women still spent four times longer on housework than men

While the equality of the sexes is taken for granted today, a study found that women spend more than four times as much time on housework as men do in South Korea. In addition, only one man takes parental leave for every 21 women. According to Viewing Women’s Lives Through Statistics 2015, released by Statistics Korea and the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family on June 2, the average time each day that women over the age of 10 spent doing housework in 2014 was 3 hours and 5 minutes, .

Samsung Medical Centre fumbles efforts to shake reputation as MERS epicenter

On June 23, Lee Jae-yong held a press conference about the South Korean outbreak of MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome). Along with being the vice chairman of Samsung Electronics, Lee is the chair of the board of directors for the Samsung Life Public Welfare Foundation, which operates the Samsung Medical Center. “Samsung Medical Center has caused the Korean people to suffer great pain and anxiety, and I would like to offer my sincere apology,”
