FIFA World Cup Post II

What has an England flag got to do with Thai Cuisine?


Nasi kandar isn’t American food!


Well, it looks like World Cup fever has invaded the KLCC food court…

Japan vs. South Korea

No, Japan and South Korea are not facing each other in FIFA World Cup. But in a sense, the two nations are competing with each other.

Korean Peninsula was under the harsh rule of Japan before the latter was defeated in World War II. While it has been 65 years since the Land of the Morning Calm gained independence, its people have remained hostile to their former colonizers until today.

On the other hand, few Japanese born after the War knew their history well. Korean TV stars are hugely popular in the Land of the Rising Sun. Unfortunately, good will of the post-war Japanese has failed to melt the ice, or put out the fire, on the other side of Sea of Japan. (Koreans refer to Sea of Japan as East Sea.)

World Cup provides a venue for the Koreans to vent their anger. They want to progress further than the Japanese…

South Korea has already been knocked out in Round of 16. Will the Japanese outlast them? We will know the answer very soon…

  1. I suppose the flag shows the stall's support of that country team. It's very sporting of them. Did you mean food court instead of foot court?

  6. UK out today.

    Auckland weather is quite mild. In summer, you see trees with leaves. That is why you get deceived that it was taken in Malaysia,

    I think it was the decision of KLCC Management to hang the flags.

    Typo corrected. Thanks :)
