Faux Korean World Cup Shirt (Hilariously) Promotes Stereotypes

Jun 11. 2010

Yesterday, J sent me a link to an online t-shirt store with a note that read, "Thought you might appreciate the design." from left to right: England, USA, Brazil As you can see, each shirt has printed the names of the players who will be participating in the World Cup for that particular country. I did appreciate the bold and simple design (thanks, hubby!) and was fully intent on blogging about it today...

World Cup Bento Boxes [Seoul Eats]

Jun 07. 2010

I may not be a big soccer fan, but my native country of South Korea is definitely excited about the World Cup. Not only are celebrities are posing for photo sessions rooting for the beloved Red Devils, the hottest musical artists (including Olympic gold medalist Yuna Kim who has surprised the public with her beautiful singing voice) have been collaborating for World Cup-themed songs and music videos that play around the clock on all media outlets.

The 2010 NBA Finals

Jun 03. 2010

Basketball has always been my favorite sport. Maybe it was the plethora of basketball manga I read while growing up (Slam Dunk, anyone?). Or perhaps I am a victim of reverse psychology, because standing at a mere 5'1" I have a severe disadvantage in the sport. It's no big news that my favorite team has not been playing well for the better part of the decade. However, I grew up in NY during the Knicks' glory days (at least for my generation), and so I remain loyal to my Knickerbockers. I cried when they lost the 1999 NBA Finals, and still hold a grudge against the Spurs and Tim Duncan for this reason. And the day I met Allan Houston was...
