wtf 35 million people hacked.

This will go down as one of the world’s biggest hacks. A South Korea social networking site, Cyworld, has had the account details of 35 million users stolen — that is almost two thirds of the South Korean population (48 million) - and its more then all of the Canadian population.(31 million)

Cyworld is a South Korean Facebook type social networking site. The “Cy” in Cyworld as well as meaning “cyber” is also a pun on the Korean word for relationship. I figured it out with a little help of course,  its sort of a Korean version of Myspace to me. With upgrade options and page editor kits to buy to fancy it or glam it up. The site claims to have an account for every single south Korean in their 20s and is apparently the rage in Korean for this age group.

Korean cleans up metro?

Having worked there for an entire summer I can honestly say my stay in Korea had an effect on me that has sparked a interest in the people, places and things that come from that nation that I am sure will last quite some time. Here`s one story that reminded me of the unique large metro system in Seoul; The photo taken  when I was there last summer. I can honestly say I saw very little homeless in the stations yet maybe it has become worse? take care Korea.

Korail has requested the Seoul Metropolitan Government to find a new place for the homeless living near the nation’s largest station. A Korail official said that details on how to move them have not been decided yet.


Korail has already banned the homeless from sleeping inside the station and asked them to move out of waiting lounges.

Korean memories

I can say that working and living in Korea last year changed my life. I have many memories of the country, culture and people. Here`s something that just makes me smile when I see it. This will be the first of many things Korean that I plan to share with you all.
