Three Alley Pub Itaewon
Three Alley Pub Itaewon
I've heard a lot about Three Alley Pub, so my wife and I stopped in tonight. The place was smokey and the chairs were uncomfortable. What do I expect from a pub? I was just hoping to get some decent pub food. I got an OB (yeah, I know, but I'm cheap) and my wife got a Long Island Ice Tea. The OB was great, but the LIT tasted like sewage. A blind monkey could have poured better. LITs are easy to make. I don't know how they messed that up.
We with the drink in hand, we decided it was best to order one entree and see how they did. We got the Beef and Guinness Stew. It was pretty good, but pretty obvious that the sauce from either from a can or mix and the potatoes and meat were added later. The bread served with it was really good. Actually, the bread made the meal. We decided not to risk another order, so we hit some street food and Cold Stone on the way home.

Seoul Eats: Review: Hamburgers in Seoul
Seoul Eats: Review: Hamburgers in Seoul
There are 2 kinds of Americans in Korea who aren't looking for good burgers: (1) vegetarians, and (2) those who were locked in a closet for 20+ years before being shipped to Korea (I've met a few of the latter).
This why Daniel Gray's research into where to get good burgers is so welcomed. These days I might have one or two days a month that I can go out into the world (beyond my neighborhood) and enjoy a good meal. Most of the time, I am looking for meat. Occasionally, I get hamburgers on the brain and can't relax until I satisfy that hunger. I've been unsatisfied for a long time.
On a suggestion that came either directly or indirectly from Daniel Gray, I went to the #1 on his list, Wolfhound. It was certainly the best burger that I've had in Korea. I was a little disappointed in the meat as it had a lot of filler and tasted more like a meaty meatloaf than a burger. I followed up with Daniel and he recommended the Corner Bistro and Tony's Aussie Bar and Bistro for places that offer a plain meat (can we say that about hamburger?) patty and a good bun. I'll have to give them a try.

Gal to Gal Virtual Walk 2008
Gal to Gal Virtual Walk 2008
This is virtual walk to support people with stage IV breast cancer. It is a great organization and a nice twist on traditional "walks". The cost is $5, but you can give as much as you'd like. The money goes towards programs to help families through this very difficult, and sometimes drawn out, experience.
If you'd like to join the walk, join my group "Global Walkers" and we can walk together.

YouTube to McCain: You Made Your DMCA Bed, Lie in It
YouTube to McCain: You Made Your DMCA Bed, Lie in It
Repeat after me, "Karmic Justice." The McCain campaign has been getting their advertisements pulled down left and right since many contain clips from other sources (CBS for example). These are certainly fair use examples, but the way that the DMCA works, it makes no difference in the initial take down request.
I don't know McCain's history with the DMCA. Not many voted against it, so I assume he voted for it. I'm not even happy that it's happening to him. I'm just happy that it's happening to someone in government. Maybe now that they've been screwed by it as many others have, it will get fixed.
