2017-12-05 International High Schools meet TNKR

These high school students visiting South Korea did the DMZ tour. They heard a speech from a North Korean refugee who is not a public figure. They listened patiently to a long speech I gave, and they asked many questions, too. Incredibly, none of them went to sleep, despite waking up at 5 a.m. and spending the day at the DMZ

These kinds of events are always fun. When the host asked me how long I could speak, I responded, "About TNKR? If I start early in the morning, then I can talk until tomorrow."

When they asked me if I could speak to the high school kids, I suggested it would be a good idea to have a refugee speaker. This is one time that the hosts initially said "no thank you." They wanted the kids to hear about me co-founding an organization to inspire the kids. Then later they agreed it could be good to hear from a student in TNKR, and later they were glad they had listened!

The kids were asking some tough questions!

TNKR co-founder Eunkoo Lee has gotten better at public speaking. She still often stands off to the side, but I make sure to point her out at least once during every event.

Michael Vick ain't got nuthin on me!!!

After football player Michael Vick admitted that he had been running a dog-fighting business I wrote that he was an idiot. If he was going to engage in such activity he should have gone to Indonesia or somewhere else. He certainly had the money to do so at that time. If he knew then what he knows now then he would have spent $10 million to run his dogfighting ring in Manila. Today I did something that probably not even Michael Vick ever did: I ate dog meat. I never expected that I would do so. It is a bit scandalous because Koreans don't just kill the dogs and eat them. Rather, they will beat them to death while they are still alive. That allegedly is to get the adrenaline flowing which allegedly makes the meat more tender which allegedly improves a man's stamina. I had told a friend that I wanted to give it a try. But as we sat down to eat I said: "I want to try this but don't give me any details until after we are finished eating." It just looked like regular me...

Chosun Monthly magazine [Korean language]

Chosun Monthly Magazine has made an announcement (in Korean) about the Seoul Honorary Citizenship award that I received on December 9, 2022. Our Korean staffers say that the magazine is a big deal in South Korea. Here's the overall roundup of media about the award. In the next two months, I have extended interviews coming up in two different magazines, one in the USA and one in South Korea. Both articles will be in respected publications so they should raise awareness of FSI's work that your support makes possible. * * * Support FSI via Stripe or PayPal . https://donate.stripe.com/3cs28F5IAcc85IAaEF or PayPal .
