As Skindleshanks points out, some foreigners will be eligible to vote in tomorrow’s local elections. Anyway, read his post—it’s rather interesting. And heck, maybe even you can go out there and ROK the vote.

Vote early and vote often!
Seriously though it’s to Korea’s credit to allow waegookin to vote in local elections.
My wife said that one of the Korean newspapers reported that the North sold the free fertilizer it received from the South to Thailand. Is this true? I haven’t been able to find any mention in any of the English language papers. If it’s true, yet another nail in the coffin of the Uri-nalists, taking it once again where the sun don’t shine from the North.
A story like that?
Look in the Chosun first.
Yonhap and others (Chosun, Donga) had the news about ROK fertilizer having been registered as imported from DPRK in Thailand. It seems that it’s not clear yet if the Thailand authorities had made a mistake between the two Koreas or if the North had actually sold Southern aid fertilizer. But they do need dollars to by for all the whisky, cigarettes, and pet food (see the Donga piece), don’t they?
Be careful,
This is from the Korean imigration law. —— Doesn’t mention visa status
CHAPTER Ⅳ SOJOURN AND DEPARTURE OF FOREIGNERS
SECTION 1 Sojourn of Foreigners
Article 17 (Sojourn and Activity Scope of Foreigners)
(1) Any foreigner may sojourn in the Republic of Korea within the limit of his status of sojourn and period of sojourn.
(2) No foreigner sojourning in the Republic of Korea shall engage in any political activity.
Interesting, considering that Korea disenfranchises its own citizens who happen to have permanent residency in the US, even if they currently are actually domiciled in Korea (as is the case with my wife).
