A US blog about Asian topics, mostly Korean, is holding a charity drive for the Asia Foundation. The organization has no one goal, but covers many topics in the Asia-Pacific region. I was ignorant and surprised about some of the issues even in my own home country! Donating to this charity will help in more ways in the Asian region than any other nonprofit group.

Are you selfish? That's ok, because there is still incentive to donate:
Beautiful drawing prizes, and if the amount raised is even more than $500, a third prize will be added!

All details are available on this page. Additional information can be found here. The drive ends Dec. 12th, enough time to receive the prizes to make a Christmas gift. You can still donate directly after Dec. 12th, but not for the drawing. Paypal is the preferred method of payment, but other forms of donation *might* be available.

If you have any questions or comments, put them here or here.

Korea has opened up a boot camp to combat the internet obsession that is plaguing the entire world. It is designed to overcome the dependency of the internet in second-generation users. A feeling of loneliness and discomfort is accompanied by this generation whenever they are without internet or cell phone.
The campers have ZERO internet access for the duration of their stay. They are, however, allowed phone privileges for about an hour a week.

The camp is not dangerous and has no physically-demanding tasks. Instead, it is designed to show that there is a world outside of the internet.

A teenager vows to kill his parents after his mother took away his Playstation. Unfortunately, the man he hired was an undercover cop. After getting caught, he tries to act like he was not going to hire the hitman, but cancel his plans. He even tells his mom he loves her, but she will still press charges.
Crocodile tears do not work on this mother. Too bad for him.

Geniuses are still among us. Even though Einstein is dead, there are still many geniuses alive today. Telegraph has ranked the top 100 geniuses who are still alive.

There are also many child prodigies. My two favorite are the breakdancing baby and the geography child shown below.

Awwww...

A security camera at a gas station located in Parma, Ohio recorded a strange blue mist. It was not visible with the naked eye, but can be seen going around people on the video. They say they experienced a "chill."

I think it is an altered video, changed by the owner of the gas station. Maybe sales have been poor and he needed a way to attract more comfortable.

It is amazing, but very hard to believe. What do you think?

The Ninja Parade's audience increases every year. This year was the biggest turnout, with 3,000 attendees! AskANinja was unable to attend this year, but was an active participant in the past.


Ninja Parade Slips Through Town Unnoticed Once Again

The only evidence of the parade is footage from 1984 (shown in the video above). What they did not mention was the ninja's consequential ban from participating from future parades. That, and his assassination.
