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.

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

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!

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 .

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.

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

"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."

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

Serrano: Afghanistan isn't Iran.

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

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

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

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?
