American Dies at Incheon Airport

American Dies at Incheon Airport After Service Staff Block Rescue Personnel

Service staff at Incheon International Airport yesterday essentially killed a 48-year-old American man who’d collapsed in the airport’s baggage terminal when they prevented emergency rescue personnel dispatched from the airport fire station from entering the arrival concourse.

A witness said emergency personnel tried to enter the arrival concourse to assist the man, who’d stopped breathing, but were blocked by staff who told them they could not. A scuffle ensued for over five minutes, after which emergency staff entered through another way. Unfortunately, by the time they reached the American, he was already dead.

Airport service staff, meanwhile, blamed the rescue personnel for not properly explaining the situation at hand. The airport itself also blamed the rescue personnel. Marmot's Hole



So...looks like salarymen all over Korea are smiling and breathing a collective sigh of relief. Why would they do such a thing you ask? Well, looks as if all those young ladies,aka "bar hostesses" who perform sexual services for whiskey bar customers cannot be charged with prostitution when they have sex with clients! Businessmen's smiles just got wider and their wives teeth are gritting even harder!

Court Rules in Bar Hostess Solicitation Case
A court ruled that bar hostesses cannot be charged with prostitution even if their solicitation of rich customers involves sexual intercourse, just as long as their patrons do not pay them any money for sex.

The court also ruled that better sales at the club following the solicitations were marginal relative to the charges filed.

Women’s advocacy groups decry the decision, calling the judge “innocent” of the real deals made at bars and clubs.

Prostitution disguised as business solicitations–

A female job recruiter, Hong, age 42, introduced three hostesses to Yoon, 32, the owner of the club named by the court, at a coffee shop in Gangnam Gu, Seoul in June 2007.

Yoon made advance payments of $2,500 to $6,000 to the three women, and they started working at a club run by Yoon in Japan. Yoon took good care of rich customers, and assigned hostesses to them to cultivate their patronage.

The hostesses themselves chipped in. They voluntarily asked the rich patrons out and met them outside the club. They all entered sexual relationships with them as well to keep them coming to the club. Read More...


I like how the bar hostesses had sex with their clients in order to "cultivate their patronage"!!!


I was going through some old footage from when I lived in Busan (I have hours of the stuff it seems) and put together a little video of me kickin around Nampo-dong in Busan. I suppose that since it is PIFF (Pusan International Film Festival) time and this was the original home of the festival, I'd pot this little vid. In it I'm hunting for the illusive stick of deoderant.



On a lighter note, mind you, there was nothing heavy about that video...a story from Japan with a twisted twist!

Foot fetish burglar steals women's shoes to smell them
OTA, Gunma -- A man has been arrested here after breaking into a mobile phone store here and stealing 17 pairs of women's shoes belonging to employees so he could smell the footwear, police said.

Yusuke Suzuki, 23, a part-time worker from Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture, was arrested for trespassing and theft after he allegedly broke into the mobile phone store and stole the shoes.

He admits to the allegations.

"There are lots of pretty women working in the store and I wanted to smell their shoes," Suzuki told the police.

Police said that Suzuki smashed a window to get into the mobile phone store early on the morning of Sept. 24, then took out 17 pairs of pumps stored in a shoe cupboard and belonging to female employees.

In a subsequent raid on Suzuki's home, police seized a further 32 pairs of women's shoes. Suzuki says he bought these shoes over the Internet. Police said they are investigating his claim.
