KumGangSan

for fun korean times, head to KumGangSan on W32th.

open 24h, large portions, tasty, not too expensive. i think i have found my to-go korean place. the only downside was that the service was a bit slow even though the place wasn’t packed. as an extra bonus, they have a wall with fake rocks and 2 musicians perched on it playing piano all night.

A medieval castle is being built in France. There’s also a Youtube channel.

2016-09-15: If you’re ever in this part of France, I highly recommend a visit to the slowest castle construction site in the history of the world.

Guédelon Castle is a project started in 1997 by Michel Guyot and Maryline Martin in the Burgundy region of France. The castle is styled on typical French medieval chateau-fort, modeled on designs from the 13th century, and is being built using techniques and materials available to masons and builders 800 years ago. The Guédelon project has now become a tourist destination, and employs dozens of workers. The castle is due to be completed in 2023.

Occupy Sesame Street

paging Denise Long

Occupy Wall Street is a major movement both on the streets and on the web, but it isn’t getting the media attention it deserves. Why? Because it doesn’t resonate with kids. Kids drive the market and therefore the media, but they have absolutely no interest in seeing politically-charged 20-somethings sprayed in the face with mace. Pepper spray Snuffleupagus, however, and you got yourself a protest ready for prime time.
