Clips from Korea's Got Talent 2 Episode 5 (June 2012)
I need to study Korean more! I hate not knowing what is going on.
Take me! "Eui-sung Choi" - 최의성-He has a nice voice. He is also very handsome!
Next world star "Mo-se Do" -도모세-I can tell that Rain (bi) is his influence. He looks similar. He could be a Bi impersonator if he was as good, but I don’t think he compares. I wish it had subtitles!
Please say YES! "Yoo-chan Kim" – 김유찬 (English subs)-He is so cute! He could pass as a girl in that outfit!
A Cappella group "Solists" – 솔리스츠 (English Subs)-I enjoyed their performance

Robot maker to launch ‘K-pop star robots’
Read about it here: http://view.koreaherald.com/kh/view.php?ud=20120625000681
I think Koreans like robots. In 2009 they proposed English teaching robots. Now this year they want to make robots that can dance just like K-pop stars. What other kinds of robots will they come up with?
Dongbu Robot plans to make robots that will imitate pop stars by the end of this year. The robot will be controlled by artificial motor "joints". You can even make your robot look like the pop stars by attaching artificial skin.Users can download songs and dances to link to the robot.

South Korean Taxi Drivers Go on First Nationwide Strike
Read about it here: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-06-19/south-korean-taxi-drivers-go-on-first-nationwide-strike.html
The taxi drivers in Korea want the fares to be increased because fuel costs are rising. They also want to be able to switch to Diesel fuel. They are currently required to use Liquid Petroleum gas which has risen 245 won per liter since 2009.
The initial fees have been capped at 2400 won (@$2.00 usd) since 2009. The fees are 17% lower than the fees in New York City and 77% cheaper than Tokyo. (wow! 77%..remind me to never take a taxi in Tokyo!)I loved the cheap transportation in Korea. I can see how that would put stress on the cab drivers. Fuel prices keep going up, but their fares are staying the same. It's harder for them to make a profit.

Clips from Korea's Got Talent 2 Episode 3 (June 2012)
Poppin World Champion, Blue Whale Bros (BWB) (English Subs)--That was very interesting! I'm not into poppin, but I enjoyed their performance.
Seafood Magician, "Young-Jin Kim"김영진--Wow. He definately gets points for originality and creativity. Most magicians are predictable, but I've never seen anything like this.
"Selfish" who has Adam Levine's voice-셀피시--He has a nice voice, but I wouldn't compare him to Adam Levine.
Courageous father's song! "Duk-Hyun Cho"-조덕현 (English subs)--This man is in a bad situation and he wants to sing one more time. He's a self taught singer. I think he does a good job.
Geniuses from Busan----I love watching kids perform!

Hightlights from my stay in South Korea
I made a video of pictures from the time I spent in Korea. I wanted to make a video for my fundraising page and to share on my blog. I made a similar video after my first stay in Korea. I decided to add more pictures and make it shorter (under 5 minutes!).
I hope you enjoy the video!
