Toilet themed restaurants are not new in Taiwan; it has been around since 2004 or earlier, with people dining in a toilet like ambience and eating from mini toilet bowl.

The latest Samsung AnyCall commercial (full 9 mins version), featuring Korean pop stars BoA, Xiah of TVXQ, Tablo of Epik High, and pianist prodigy Jin Bora…

Music video of Girls’ Generation (소녀시대) by Korean pop group Girls Generation from their self-titled debut album [video via jicho85@Youtube]…

Korean pop group Girls’ Generation – aka So Nyeo Shi Dae or SNSD – released their debut album Girls’ Generation Vol. 1 – Girls’ Generation yesterday (Nov 1).
The girls made their official debut in early August 2007; and despite being criticised for their (lack of) talents as well as suspicion of plastic surgeries, the girls seem to be doing well in terms of popularity.
