  U.S. military community members are being warned to avoid civil gatherings at Seoul City Hall plaza over the weekend, according to U.S. Forces Korea.


The National Conference for Opposition to Importing U.S. Mad Cow Diseased Beef planned to conduct candlelight vigils in the plaza Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

It was a bad day to be a Department of Defense Dependant School (DoDDs) graduate in South Korea… at least for those who had plans to go off base downtown and party the night away after the ceremony. My group didn’t even have any intention of going out to the clubs and hofs or bars after graduation--- you know, some good ol’ sam gyub sal [Korean BBQ pork] and noraebang [singing room] were on our agenda. Unfortunately for the class of oh-eight, political discourse surrounding the condition of imported US beef has escalated to public protest and “illegal demonstrations” that led to the timely ban on downtown access for the entire weekend.
