DIY dress course helps brides to be

2010-07-29

 

For most women, choosing their wedding gown tends to be the most exciting yet concerning aspect of their special once-in-a-lifetime event.

Unlike in the West, where buying one’s own wedding gown is more common, Koreans typically rent theirs from dress shops since buying a dress can cost a fortune. Although brides can wear high-end designer gowns this way, they do not get to keep them after the wedding ceremony.

Book chronicles story of independence crusader

2010-07-19

 

From Ahn Jung-geun, Yoon Bong-gil to Yu Gwan-sun, Korean independence fighters during the Japanese colonial period (1910-1945) have been taught to youths for decades but not much has been known of one American’s contribution to the country’s liberation ― a man who told an AP reporter on his deathbed “I would rather be buried in Korea than in Westminster Abbey.”

Overshadowed by his Korean compatriots, a recently published book written by Kim Dong-jin sheds light on the life of American missionary and journalist Homer B. Hulbert’s (1863-1949) 20-year efforts to modernize the Korean education system and spread the word on Japan’s forceful annexation of the peninsula.

Almost a quarter of the world’s total disease burden is attributable to environmental risks -- and that is just as true in the Republic of Korea as it is anywhere else. Like its neighbors in the region and further afield, it is going to have to adapt quickly to a rapidly evolving situation.

Only a half a century ago, it was all much simpler. Environmental health issues mainly involved water, sanitation, hygiene, and smoke or air pollution in living environments. But over the years, urbanization and industrialization have introduced new challenges, some of them to do with chemicals and some with new technologies. Recently, climate and ecosystem changes have been added to this list.
