A season for soba noodles

A season for soba noodles, Japanese noodles, is coming.

"Soba noodles are native Japanese noodles made of buckwheat flour (soba-ko) and wheat flour (komugi-ko). They are roughly as thick as spaghetti, and prepared in various hot and cold dishes. The most basic soba dish is zaru soba in which boiled, cold soba noodles are eaten with a soya based dipping sauce (tsuyu)." From http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2341.html

NO FTA

Today, June 4th, 2006, there was a demonstration about FTA (Free Trade Agreement) between South Korea and the U.S. Their slogans were "Stop FTA" and "No Neoliberalism." As a small country, the Korea needs to protect its own business and trade. Although free trade and competition might be good for consumers, Korean's agricutural and cultural products will be disappeared soon.
