Ferry safety and South Korea
The tragedy that unfolded last week near Jindo continues to dominate the media and news in many nations. I have written a poem to say how I feel to conclude this column. However, as "Mugunghwa" intimates, we must look forward. I cannot but think the innocent lives lost call us to action.

Saunas for good living
By Bernard Rowan Have you ever enjoyed a sauna in Korea?  One less-heralded reason for Korea’s advancement as a civilization is saunas.  Let me tell you why.Every society depends on a robust population of working-aged men and women to create the goods and services, income, and wealth that help and drive human achievement. At least that’s one way to look at what we do, day-in and day-out.  Also, people of all ages need relaxation, cleansing, healing, and rest to preserve health and contribute their best in all walks of life.For example, Korea stresses &ldq...

A new way of looking at islets
Things are heating up again in an area of the East China Sea claimed by China and Japan. We heard last week that China declared authority over airspace near Diaoyudao, which is called Senkaku in Japan. This area has been contested between the two nations for some time.

Fooled once again
This week it's in the news that North Korea has detained an American veteran of the Korean War. He couldn’t leave at the end of his tourist visit there in October. The authorities took Merrill E.
