Baghdad is Open for Business, Korean style

al-Karada street in central Baghdad, AFP photoWe all knew that the Korean Chaebol were going to get their share in Iraq, I just didn't think they would move this quickly. Looking at this pic, it seems that LG (and Samseung, if I'm not mistaken) have already set up shop in in Baghdad.

With the UN Security Council set to vote in favor of the new Iraq resolution, the Korean government will lose its last real excuse to not send additional troops. Once the reinforcements arrive, you can expect that more scenes like this will soon follow. I'm fine with that as long as nobody tries to open up a Lotteria.

It's been 3 years since coalition forces stepped in and set up shop. What's the suprise/news? I don't even see what's "korean style" about these adverts.

Sunsets From My Window

    I lived in a twelfth-floor apartment in Ansan, Korea for about 18 months. As you can see, it offered some pretty good views in the evening. My wife and I often enjoyed the summer sunsets during dinner.
