Guilty in Korea
Guilty in Korea
Around one year ago, I published a few articles here about the absurd criminal trial that I, my wife and a very honorable senior couple were facing. How has the tragicomedy played out so far?

Putin's presser in context
Putin's presser in context
By Arthur I. Cyr President Vladimir Putin of Russia held his traditional year-end press conference on Dec. 17. The annual show is certainly preferable to the grotesque show trials of Stalin's Soviet Union, and provides real information.Putin dismissed United States elections as flawed. Later, when rioters invaded the U.S. Congress on Jan. 6, Russia's media reacted with script...

Does Jeju need 2nd airport?
Does Jeju need 2nd airport?
I remember the beautiful scenery I saw on Jeju Island, including the green ferns on volcanic cones (or oreum) and the emerald sea. It was peaceful and relaxing to walk in nature on Jeju. According to a 2018 survey of tourists visiting Jeju by the Jeju Tourism Organization, “enjoying the natural landscape” was the most popular response on why they chose Jeju as their destinati...

Philosophy of climate change
Philosophy of climate change
What is climate change? You might say, “I know more or less about climate change.” However, you may or may not know about the ongoing changes which add up to a surplus amount of greenhouse gases (such as CO2, CH4, gaseous H2O, N2O, and CFC). The presence of these gases in the atmosphere acts like a lid that traps heat from solar radiation and contains it for a long duration s...

Three generations dedication to Korea's freedom

Phasing out of Kori plant
Phasing out of Kori plant
On a balmy autumn day in 1972, a tall antenna tower collapsed. There were 30-meter-high six-guy-wired communication towers located in the barbed-wired compound near Gimpo International Airport west of Seoul. The owner, one of the U.S. agencies in Korea, had suspected that it may have been an act of terrorism.

Jericho Clinic
Jericho Clinic
Due to the pandemic in 2020, I could not easily engage in charity work for migrant workers. So instead, I tried to write more English essays to contribute to the Thoughts of the Times in the hope of reaching out to many people. But I have never forgotten to pray for the welfare of migrant workers.

Underappreciated power of cold showers
Underappreciated power of cold showers
Cold showers can change your life and have positive physical and mental benefits. The idea of taking cold showers daily year-round may sound insane. Who in their right minds would choose to subject themselves to the suffering of standing below running cold water in the shower?
