My Accomplishments in the year 2010

I am a man of action and I think a lot of this has to do with the fact that I'm not good at making long term plans. Here, I specifically mean New Year's Resolutions. Last year instead of writing resolutions for 2010, I wrote a list of my accomplishments for 2009. So, instead of saying what I will do this year, I'm going to write about what I accomplished in 2010 and try to do better in the following year. Here are some of the accomplishments I am proud (and not so proud of) in 2010. 1. I wrote 660 posts for Seoul Eats 2. Am the weekly food columnist for Arirang Radio's The Way Home 3.

And we can't forget David Chang who was nominated as one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people list. Corey Lee's new restaurant in San Francisco, Benu, has a 2-month wait. 3.      The Korean Bibimbap Commercial. I love the dancing, the colors, the juxtaposition of dancers to Bibibimbap. It totally works. 4.      The Jean-George and Marja Vongerichten's upcoming show on Korea...

Watch Yuna Kim's Short Program 2010 performance in Vancouver here!

I couldn't find this on NBC or even the English websites. Luckily, Korean's are all about Kim Yuna here, so here is the performance.  You are going to have to go to this link to watch the video, because the website won't let me embed it here. Also, it's in Korean. http://sports.media.daum.net/soccer/news/a_match/breaking/view.html?cateid=1172&newsid=20100224132848542&p=m_daum I found a video! Watch this hilarious video of a Beer Guzzling, Pizza Eating Kim Yuna fan watching the performance.
