Watching the Dow Jones drop from Korea

On my way to work this morning, a minivan pulled out in front of me in East Windsor with the Web site, www.kimchius.com, on the back window. On the site, you can purchase a Dimchae standing kimchi refrigerator for only $2499.99. A savings of almost $200! Oh, and I also found this:

I have also just found a Web site where I can listen to Korean radio broadcasts and even watch Korean television live. As I watched the MBN (listed as "NBN" on the Web site) broadcast, I saw the Dow Jones was down 90 points. On other "channels," gray screens and color bars hummed since it was 14 hours ahead there, nearing 1 a.m. All I can say is, this is so cool.

This Web site also has pages for radio and TV broadcasts from Japan, Thailand, China, even Denmark, the Czech Republic and Israel. I watched a program last night from the Republic of Congo, a religious show where people in robes sang in front of a very poor green screen, like something from late 80's cable access.

Korean radio and television feeds.
