Drama ‘My Love from the Stars’ Sparks Mania in China (Cassandra Kwok)
The hottest Korean drama, My Love from the
Stars, has taken Asia by storm, particularly in China. From sold-out fan
meetings to a boom in sales for food merely mentioned on the recently-concluded
SBS drama, Chinese fans just can’t seem to get enough.
China has fallen head-over-heels for Kim
Soo-hyun, who plays the title character, a gorgeous, yet mysterious
400-year-old alien who falls in love with a Hallyu actress, played by My Sassy
Girl star Jun Ji-hyun.
China’s Jiangsu Satellite TV invited Kim to
appear as a special guest judge on game show Super Brain on March 8. The show
reportedly paid Kim approximately $500,000 for his eight-hour appearance and
spent an additional $500,000 to charter a private jet and hire 600 security
guards to control the massive crowds.
Chinese fans shrieked with excitement
chanting “Do Min Joon,” the name of his drama character, as he made his
appearance in a dapper black tuxedo very similar to his character’s style.
And the mania is not just reserved for Kim.
On one episode, Jun’s character mentions that she loves chowing down on fried
chicken and beer when it snows. Since then, Korean fried chicken restaurants in
China have done a booming business, with accounts of three-hour lines and
chicken shortages. News reports said a pregnant woman almost had a miscarriage
due to binge-watching the show while eating just chicken with beer.
What exactly about this series has got
China obsessed? The Chinese government is wondering the same thing. The Chinese
People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) members have been
questioning why they can’t produce such addicting and impactful dramas much
like Korea, according to the Washington Post. Some politicians have said that
the rise of K-dramas in China has punctured the pride of Chinese culture.
Questions:
1. Do you like watching Korean soap operas?
What do you think about Korean soap operas?
2. What do thank about the Korean culture?
3. Do you believe aliens exist?
Do UFO's Exist? Do You Believe?
4. What to do if you encounter alien?
5. What to do if you found Your Boyfriend/girlfriend is an Alien?
6. What do thank about Korean celebs and plastic surgery?
7. Would you like to travel to another planet?
Will we live on the other planets?
8. Why Chinese and Taiwanese craze about Korean soap operas?

Google
Employees Reveal Their Favorite Perks Working For The Company(Kevin Smith)
Google jobs are some of the most sought
after positions in the entire tech industry.
Employees who work for the search giant
don't have to worry about much besides their work. Google says, "the array
of benefits of perks aim to ensure that Googlers remain happy and healthy in
all aspects of their lives."
Google provides its workers with a lot of
perks, most are unheard of at the average 9-5 gig. Some former Googlers and a
few that are still with the company listed their favorite benefits on answers
site Quora.
Employees have access to free rental cars
if they need to run an errand, free gyms on campus, and some offices even offer
on-site daycare.
While providing free food and drinks is
getting more "normal" for start-ups these days, it was definitely my
favorite and most-used perk at Google. I would start my morning at one building
that had a coffee bar with full-time barista who would make whatever drink
requested, for free. I would then head over to the building I worked in for
free breakfast and take it to my desk. Lunchtime would come around and I'd head
to one of Googles 25+ cafes for food. At Google you're never further than 150
ft. (or so) away from food, so micro kitchens with coffee, drinks and snacks
are close by. If you stay to work late, you can grab dinner at Google too.
Because Google's campus is not close to many restaurants, having food saves
their employees lots of time while still providing plenty of variety and
options.
A former Googler, describes bringing his
dog to work:
My mild-mannered and quiet Shar-Pei
accompanied me 2-3 times a week and became a constant presence in my team and
work area. Though managing a dog between meetings can sometimes be challenging,
having her with me meant that every few hours I needed to get outside and take
a break which helped me manage my energy. In addition my dog brought a lot of
spontaneous joy to my colleagues who sometimes sought her out when needing a
break from an arduous task.
Employees can give each other "massage
credits" for a job well done on projects. The massage credits can be
redeemed for a free one hour massage on campus.
Besides massages, one engineer at Google
describes what it was like when he got an injury while working at the search
giant:
Free fitness classes, gyms, and organized
intramural sports:
Every Friday employees can unwind and
socialize with free beer and wine.
Maternity leave for Mom and Dad plus a
bonus:
It's typical for mothers to get up off of
work for up to six weeks after having a child but at Google it's another story.
At Google, new dads receive six weeks of
paid leave while moms can take 18 weeks after the birth of a child. Employees'
stock continues to vest and they continue to receive bonuses while they are on
leave.
The Goog even gives us a bonus, called
"baby bonding bucks" shortly after our baby is born to help with
expenses like diapers, takeout, and formula during our leave. I haven't heard
of other companies offering parental benefits within a country mile of
Google's.
Considerable death benefits:
If a Googler passes away, "all their
stock vests immediately, and on top of the (not atypical, I think?) life
insurance payout, their surviving spouse continues to get half of the Googler's
salary for the next 10 years. And there's an additional $1,000/month benefit
for any of the Googler's children."
Questions:
1. What is your ideal job? What is your
ideal working place?
2. Do you want to work at Google?
Can you get a job at Google?
3. What do you think about the Google?
Do you think Google company culture is
great?
Reasons why you need to work for a big
company?
4. Is a good idea that bringing a dog to
work?
5. What other employee benefits you really
want?
6. How much salary is enough?
How to ask for a pay raise? Do you want a
big bonus check?
7. How to be happy at work? Ways to be
happier at work?
Ways to keep employees happy?
