Good News and Bad News

First the good news: I found another good ice cream bar here in Seoul, Crunchy King. It has a waffle-like chocolate shell and a filling of ice cream and chocolate bits and such. Not bad, although the waffle part is a little dry....maybe if I dip it in milk or coffee...


Crunchy King...not a lot of crunch, but pretty darn big.


Here is the inside of the CK bar...not bad at all.

Now the bad news: it looks from this article that Korea is going to get worse before it gets better. Basically: (i) the older, Western educated, powerbrokers in Seoul are being replaced by locally-educated ones (not good, if you've ever looked into the school system here; (ii) the new administration wants to move power from Seoul (the centre of the universe here for over 500 years) to the provinces (where more regional and xenophobic populaces live), and (iii) the new guard is open to North Korea and, quite possibly, the absurd notion of a peaceful and profitable reunification.

Hmmm...best to focus on the ice cream for now.
