2014-12-23 Talking Talking Talking...


Meeting #1: This morning I joined a weekly news discussion. Even though they use the Economist as the foundation of discussions, I join anyway. Right, I'm not a fan of The Economist, I often spend half of the discussion ranting about the Economist. Thanks to Van SD Hur for inviting me and keeping me updated anyway!



Jenny later joined TNKR as a tutor, and was the first bilingual tutor who took English-only seriously.

Meeting #2: I also had a lunch meeting, but forgot to take a photo... At one point, I mentioned that I had recently been asked why I have a "problem" with North Korea. I said, "I'm doing fine, it doesn't matter what I think about North Korea. It is North Koreans who are trying to escape from North Korea who have a 'problem' with North Korea."

Meeting #3: I met with John Lim to discuss his project with the Center for Asia Leadership Initiatives. The organization will be bringing 40 talented youngsters from around the world. I will be posting a separate invite about this a bit later.


Meeting #4: I had a great time chatting last night with Fatima Nicholson, one of the Coaches in the newly established Teach North Korean Refugees--Freedom Ambassador Network.

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 .
