Seoul mates

Does Aso think he's a 1930s mob boss?

Nah, this is a still from 'Raiders of the lost ark'. When he removes his leather glove he has a disfigured hand where he picked up a very hot amulet.

Does Aso think he's a 1930s mob boss?

or Sokaiya ?

Japan could increase their customers by producing contracts with foreign industry to transfer Japanese technology which will allow Japan to increase their fund and start new technology.

The Afghan government is legendarily corrupt. It looks like Aso is offering a couple of tips.

they do look like 2 crooks from an Indy movie. Aso needs to perfect his "talking out the side of his mouth"

"Kiss me, Karim!"

Aso: In Japan we got AKB48. What do you guys have in Iran?

Khalili: We got centrifuges.

Serrano: Afghanistan isn't Iran.

I don't like Aso's political views but you gotta love his style!

"Japan could increase their customers by producing contracts with foreign industry to transfer Japanese technology which will allow Japan to increase their fund and start new technology."

...mmm just like the Chinese bullet train.

Afgangnam style

Does Aso think he's a 1930s mob boss?

Aso is making him an offer he can't understand.

C Harald Hansen - Ha ha, you're right, my mistake!

Khalili - We got just about the most backward country in the world, with unbelievable corruption.

Our man Taro is stylin' and profilin'!

It's good to see a J-politician with a modicum of style and fashion. I'm tired of seeing an endless lineup of drab poorly groomed grinches .

A: This is ridiculous! Letting a woman become the head of state?! In our country, they can become a politician, but that's as far as we let them go. We men come up with sexist remarks to keep them in their place.

K: Politicians??!! We don't even let our women out of the kitchen. Ridiculous!

Nice lid, Art!

"Seoul Mates" in "gang-nam" style.

I wonder if these guys understand how close they are to the border with N. Korea, with S.Korean and U.S. troops keeping the N. Koreans from overrunning the place.
