'I pushed my daughter into water'

Mr. Huh, a 50-year-old factory worker, has seen several female corpses every time rescue divers brought bodies back from the sunken ferry Sewol and onto the rescue wharf. He believes his daughter will come back to him as there are still some 20 passengers trapped in the water-filled cabins. By the way, he was scared that he might not recognize his daughter even if she is brou...

Complaints about Gmarket

I am a Hong Kong customer of Gmarket. I ordered a few winter clothes and cosmetics on Gmarket in November 2013. However, due to some problems of Gmarket delivery, I still did not receive my parcel (now in May 2014).

Leaning building of Asan

A leaning officetel (office-hotel) in Asan, south of Seoul, shown on the page 3 of The Korea Times (May 13) resembles the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the freestanding 56 meter tall bell tower known worldwide for its unintended tilt to one side. The Tower of Pisa began to sink slowly after construction had progressed to the second floor. This was due to mere three-meter foundation,...

Public response to disast

An article written by Lee Chang-sup on May 2 touches on the deepest part of the nation's heart, and my mind as an expat who dearly loves this country. It shows insight in the analysis and incompleteness in the resolution of the Sewol tragedy, which is the truth.

Stability

"It is the beauty of equilibrium, the word which I can never pronounce properly," the tour guide started her interpretation breathlessly in her French-accented English in front of the ancient Greek statue Venus de Milo at Palais Royal Musee du Louvre in Paris. The shoulders of Venus leaning slightly to right with her head inclining to some 20 degrees, the beautiful lady submi...

Bieber's visit to Japan war shrine

Not that I particularly care for his infamous manner of speech and eccentric behavior, which have troubled many across the globe, but Justin Bieber touched on a very sensitive line of emotion when he visited a Japanese war shrine. Whether the Canadian singer described the shrine as"beautiful" may fall under the freedom of speech category, but photos showing him praying in the...

Tokyo's sushi diplomacy

President Obama and Prime Minister Abe met at the Sukiyabashi Jiro sushi house in Ginza. The rather small pure sushi restaurant, with some 10 stools surrounding the kitchen on the basement floor of a Tokyo building, is so famous among Japanese and foreigners that you must wait a month to get a stool. The menu includes several kinds of fresh raw fish and laver sushi, and costs...

Side thruster and equilibrium

The large hole, about 2 meters in diameter, in the bow hull of the sunken ferry Sewol, shown in the photo (page 4, Apr. 18, The Korea Times) is called a bow thruster. It’s not a rescue hole, and it does not provide access to inside the bulkhead. The Sewol had to be equipped with a stern (rear) thruster too. A bow thruster or stern thruster is a transversal propulsion device b...

Virginia governor deserves recognition

After much fuss about whether it is appropriate for a state legislature to intervene in what is a dispute between two countries, Korea and Japan, over the name of a body of water, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe has finally signed into law the East Sea bill. Now the Sea of Japan will also be known as the East Sea, at least in Virginia.

Suppression of acts of nuclear terrorism

I refer to the topical article "Summit aims to counter nuclear terrorism threat" by Andrew Hammond, published by The Korea Times, in the opinion page on March 21 which is focused on the third Nuclear Security Summit (NSS) in The Hague, Netherlands.
