While surfing “The Korea Times”, I have noticed a whitesmoke ad in Korea. WhiteSmoke is a Israeli startup aiming to help individuals writing English essays/e-mails and more.

Ignaz Trebitsch-Lincoln – Chao Kung
The Mamot’s Hole brought to my attention the unique life story of Ignaz Trebitsch-Lincoln.
He was born Jewish, converted to Christianity, became a member in the British Parliament, he was a Nazi agent, deported to China, converted to Buddhism and collaborated with the Japanese… wow!

Dafna Boots
Dafna rubber boots are manufactured in Israel (in Kibbutz Dafna). Their website is not that good. But part of their Catalog is online.
Dafna boots are sold in Japan, both online (Rakuten) and in selected shops. Last year, I saw them being sold at Sony Plaza (I think it is now called just Plaza).
It is interesting to see a product with almost no sales/presence in Israel, but global reach (Finland, UK, Japan and many more). Can’t really say they compete with Hunter, but rather a cheaper alternative.
