In Japan, wasn't it the case that people stood in line for many hours when American beef was returned to the Yoshinoya gyudon restaurants - Gyudon Come-back Fair (牛丼 復活祭) ?

I can't remember if that was American beef or Australian beef though.

Korean people are very different from Japanese people in that they express their emotions very passionately unlike Japanese who have a Ura and Soto side to their personality. Anyways, the current Korean president is a liar and a poser like the previous Japanese prime minister Koizumi.
