Pacific Rim leaders meeting over dinner
I hope they're having fish.
Leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) member states are meeting for an official dinner hosted by South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun.
The leaders of 19 countries, as well as of Hong Kong and Taiwan, which are formally part of China, are attending the two-day APEC summit in the South Korean port of Busan. Sounds like a damn good time. Obviously they will be discussing important issues like North Korea's nuclear ambitions, free trade and maybe that whole bird flu thing. Right?
The banquet hall is decorated in violets and blues, and fresh flowers line the dining table. What?
The VIP guests will be offered a meal of traditional Korean cuisine and a live music concert featuring a South Korean opera singer and a pop star. I don't give a shit about this. Tell me what these leaders hope to accomplish at this dinner. You're making it sound like they're just getting together to bullshit about the weather and sports scores. Explain to me why this is in the headlines.
Barbecued king-size shrimp, beef cooked with wild mushrooms, and steamed rice will be offered as the main course. The exquisite Korean dish known as shinsollo - a medley of meat, fish, vegetables, and gingko nuts - will be prepared in a special pot right in the dining hall. In the past, this dish would have been served exclusively to members of the royalty. What kind of news article is this? I don't give a shit about the menu. All this does is make me hungry. Did I wander into the 'food' section of the newspaper accidentally? WHATS THE POINT OF THIS HEADLINE!!
A wide selection of Korean pickled vegetables, known as kimchi, will be served as side dishes. The meal will conclude with a desert of traditional Korean cookies, lemon beverages, and fresh fruit. The wine list will include locally produced varietals made from Phellinus linteus fungi, valued for their exceptional medicinal properties. I think this headline is fucking with me.
