@thekoreaherald @kojects Or rather, should Korea (urban streets, more specifically) be made cycle friendly? Isn’t walking/mass transit fine? — Kasif (@kasifdotinfo) May 21, 2013 @kasifdotinfo @thekoreaherald I would also prefer to limit congestion but there’s simply not enough space in urban areas. — Kojects (@Kojects) May 21, 2013 @kasifdotinfo

The talk of the tech world is Yahoo’s acquisition of Summly, a news search and summarization app, principally from 17-year-old Nick D’Aloisio, for the monstrous sum of $30,000,000. D’Aloisio’s story is remarkable; not so much, in my opinion, for his genuine achievements as a young inventor and entrepreneur, but rather
On an unusually hot and windy day I visited Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables, Florida – quite a nice place to visit, being, as its name would suggest, unique among American gardens for its incredibly wide variety of tropical plants, ranging from impossibly overgrown rainforest vines to my personal
Park Geun-hye remarkably returns to Korea’s Blue House as Northeast Asia’s first popularly elected female leader, where she spent 17 of her formative years. One oft-retweeted tweet circulating amongst American Korea-watchers during Wednesday’s Korean presidential election compared the competition between Park Geun-hye (박근혜) and Moon Jae-in (문재인) to that between George
Korean cities, not traditionally known for their skylines, have only recently begun to see incredible vertical growth spurts producing awe-inspiring buildings. Korea has for many years featured sprawling, densely-populated cities. However, its tallest buildings have been fairly short as compared to those of other developed Asian and North American countries.
The dispute between Korea and Japan over Dokdo (독도), 46.32 isolated acres of rock, seems laughable from afar. A close examination shows just how serious it really is. Dokdo, known to Japan as Takeshima (竹島) and sometimes to the greater international community as Liancourt Rocks, are but 46.32 acres of
Korea’s newest indigenously-built class of warships, memorializing King Sejong the Great, is possibly the most formidable ever to sail, representing a landmark achievement. Sejong the Great (세종대왕) is Korea’s most revered leader. He has been memorialized in practically every conceivable way, but never so powerfully (in literal terms) as with

Looking ahead to my upcoming tour of Asia (set to commence just a week from now), I’ve decided to make wholesale changes in my personal online presence. I’ve made several forays into blogging in the past, but have found it difficult to keep my enthusiasm level high enough to regularly produce new content. I’ve been quite active in a casual capacity on Twitter, but completely anonymously and without much direction. Starting on this trip, through this new website, YouTube, and Twitter, I hope to share some of my experiences and acquired knowledge with a wide audience.
