Multi-Tasking Brit Publishes Book About ‘Impossible’ Korea
August 09, 2013 08:29 A former correspondent for the Economist here has published a book that takes a look at his experiences in Korea and how Koreans view success. The book is called "Korea: The Impossible Country" and the author is Briton Daniel Tudor (31). Tudor previously distinguished himself with an article about Korean beer north and south of the border and is now a restaurateur. "I had a chance to visit Pyongyang and taste the beer there when President Roh Moo-hyun was in office, and was simply comparing the two types of beers," Tudor told the Chosun Ilbo. He said he does not find South Korean beer particularly bad, just that he longed for some variety.

In a statement, the Save Ennore Creek Campaign said the NGT’s findings throw the validity of the recently-prepared 2018 CZMP into question, as this map was based on an ‘amended’ 1997 map rather than the approved 1996 map. While directing the authorities to use the 1996 map instead of the 1997 map, the NGT noted that the documents produced by the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEF&CC) showed that when the CZMPs were prepared on the basis of the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification, 2011, “They have verified the alleged 1997 CZMP … [Read more...] about NGT order on CZMP proves fraud at highest level, say activists
