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 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
Lazy Husband
One busy Saturday at the barbershop, a man opened the door, stuck his head inside and looking at the roomful of people, inquired, “How long will it be?”
“At least three hours,” the barber replied.
To his surprise, the man came in cheerfully, took a seat and patiently browsed through the magazines.
When his turn finally came, the barber apologized for the wait.
“Don’t worry about it. I’m in no hurry. My wife wants me mow the lawn today.”

New book says Pres. Park likes animals, because they “don’t betray you”
Opposition lawmaker argues in book about leadership that Park has deep-rooted anxiety over loyalty and betrayal
“President Park said she liked watching ‘Animal Kingdom.’ Her reason was that ‘animals don’t betray you.’”As shockwaves continue to ripple through the political world after Park vetoed a bill that would have revised the National Assembly Act and attacked Saenuri Party (NFP) floor leader Yoo Seong-min with comments about “politics of betrayal,”
Former President’s widow set to visit North Korea August 5-8
With Lee Hee-ho - widow of former president Kim Dae-jung (in office 1998-2003) and chair of the Kim Dae-jung Peace Center - receiving clearance to visit North Korea from August 5 to 8, there is growing interest in why the North approved her visit and how it will affect inter-Korean relations. .
S. Korea and Japan debate comments about being “forced to work”
No sooner did the UNESCO World Heritage Committee (WHC) agree to add Japanese forced labor facilities to its list of cultural heritages on July 5 than South Korea and Japan began squabbling over how to interpret comments about being “forced to work.” In both countries, people are criticizing the agreement as a diplomatic defeat. .

The court will be ruling on the first marriage papers submitted by a same-sex couple in South Korea. .
US missile industry running into limits, seeking overseas buyers
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. .
People with tough finances find an alternate path to the lawyer they need
Last May, a woman in her thirties who needed a divorce visited a law firm in the Seocho neighborhood of Seoul.

In exchange, she promised to pay the lawyer 40% of the money the court awarded her.
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.
