Directions: New Millennium Hall for Mulmangcho fundraiser


Directions to New Millennium Hall for fundraiser at Yonsei University 6:30 pm 11/20 for the Mulmangcho school for refugee children located in Yeoju. 10,000 won donations, find out more info here https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/403227543084175/.

Starting from the Sinchon subway near Yonsei University. I would suggest taking Exit 3. Walk straight towards Yonsei University.
 
 
You'll pass a lot of stores and people along the way, then arrive at the front gate.
 
 
Walk in, on your right you'll see a map of the campus.
 
 
Look closely at the map, you'll see the route that you can take to arrive easily. The route I took kept me walking on the right side until I arrived at the building. That meant passing buildings 83, 82,78,77,40,41,58,59, to arrive at 61.
 
 
Here's the map's name in English. You want to arrive at building 61.
 
 
In Korean
 
From the map, you need to walk straight into the campus.
 
 
Here's the first challenge. A fork in the road. At this fork in the road, walk to the right.
 
 
You'll walk up the hill, see signs like this letting you know you are going in the right direction.
 
 
Walking up the hill you'll arrive at another fork in the road. Continue walking on your right.
 
 
You'll know you are close because you'll pass the President's Residence.
 
 
You'll come to another fork in the road, with a security box in the middle. This time, walk to the left.
 
 
There is, by the way, a bus timetable. If you can understand it, then you can try to use that.
 
 
That's what New Millennium Hall looks like on one side.
 
 
If you miss the turn, here's how it looks from the other side.
 
 
First floor, walk in, you'll see this small sign.
 

Then you can arrive at room 112. I didn't take a photo inside because there was a class going on at the time.
 

FYI, here is the sign in very clear Korean that you can show to people in case you somehow get lost.

Get rid of that watermelon!

Part 1: When I was a youngster I used to collect Confederate money, posters and photographs with caricatures of blacks, and "No blacks allowed signs." I loved the money because it was a reminder of how far the sorry Confederacy had fallen. I had one poster of a dark-skinned black boy munching on a watermelon. I would look at that small poster and wonder, "What in the world is wrong with anyone wanting to eat watermelon?" Yes, white people, I'm talking to you. Your parents, grandparents, and other ancestors who thought making fun of blacks for eating watermelon were crazy ! Even people who say that nothing has changed in race relations must acknowledge that the many stereotypes of blacks are no longer prevalent. But then, there are also some ready to remind us of days-gone-by by debunking stuff that doesn't need to be debunked today. According to the Washington Post: The sound you just heard was yet another racial stereotype going kersplat ! Some ...

From nothing to something super special (2023-02-10)

FSI has moved into a better institutional neighborhood where we are the poorest in the area. In August 2022, I was elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Freedom Speakers International (FSI) and in January 2023 FSI achieved incorporation status in South Korea. This has meant that FSI must upgrade operations and structure and I am the one, as chairman and co-president, who will be blamed if it doesn’t happen. I really should not be the chairman, for a variety of reasons, but anyway I am. Eunkoo and I are not the typical executives of a growing organization. In addition to being mainly responsible for building and fundraising for the organization, we are the hands-on leaders who are constantly in contact with North Korean refugee speakers. We look forward to the day we can afford staff to handle many tasks. Until then we can expect to continue having more days like yesterday, even on Eunkoo’s birthday. 2023-02-10 Meeting #1: planning We started Eunkoo’s birthday with a planning...

2020-05-21 Goodbye, Katty Chi

I had heard through the grapevine and now it has been verified: Human rights activist Katty Chi has passed away. She is one of the first people that I met when I got involved in this cause. The first time was in 2012, at an event at the South Korea's National Assembly. She was super cool, one of my favorites as I used to say even when she was alive. And that is the important time to say such things, when people are alive. Whenever we met, I would say to her, "You know what happens when you meet me?" She would say, "Yeah. Time to take a photo?" I'm glad we did. And from Hyun S. Song, a close colleague of hers: And from Liberty in North Korea, the definitive announcement, August 4, 2020

Living (and dying) in America!

Living in America! Michael Kinsley says it is time to scrap the Star-Spangled Banner. I'm on board with this. Doesn't sound bad, great historical references and all that, but it is even tough to lip- synch it... Kinsley makes a couple of tepid recommendations. My choice? Living in America by James Brown! Can you get more American than James Brown? Drugs. Women. Jail time. Illegitimate children. Car chases. Mixed race. More women. Battle over his estate. Not only should the song be the National Anthem, but the video should also be the National Video... Whistling Past the Graveyard Last night I picked up the June 6-12, 2009 issue of the Washington Afro-American. A page one article in the paper as well as an opinion piece by George Curry document the recent case of the white woman who claimed she was kidnapped by two black men. As I recently asked: Why in the world would anyone believe that such a thing could happen? Why didn't she blame Native American Indians? Looking t...
