I'm a bigot, too

I had a great time in America (including Hawaii) and Japan over the long, cold, winter break earlier this year. During my trip, one of my really good friends, an entrepreneur and model, introduced me to her new boyfriend, also a model and a pre-med student.

When governments fail

The Sewol ferry disaster exposed the failings of the government. There's a lot of blame to go around: the inadequate loading of the ferry with cars and the actions of the captain and the crew, for starters.

Bigotry in the 21st century

I told a good friend from Alabama, now in Korea as an educator, how surprised I was with the recent rash of unarmed, black males (often children) being murdered by other citizens in America. Recently, the news has been riddled with such cases.

Men (still) have it better

Why I love Samsung

I could have titled this "Why I hate Apple." There's been a long and running debate between me and some of my friends on the merits of Apple versus other companies.
