Well Summer 2008 has started in Korea and it was not even close. Iron Man won by a 4-1 ratio. These #‘s do not include the May 5th Korean Holiday.

Next week “Speed Racer” will be opening here in Korea. My students have been showing me the photos of the Korean Wave singer “Rain” and telling me that he is the star of the movie. Now my students, who have told me that they hate Japan, did not believe me when I told them that “Speed Racer” was based of a Japanese Cartoon. This should make for some very interesting class discussions next week.
