. . . Added to this, the owner of the Soju Room (in Incheon) was trying to get the kids to pay their bills before they left.

Though over fifty underage kids died, the soju room owner — who bribed the local police so as to stay open — only got six and a half years in jail, meaning that this murderer is out now, walking the streets, making money somewhere. The man responsible for the Sampoong disaster (Lee Joon) only got ten years. I suppose if either of these people just used an axe and killed one person, they might have gotten a more severe penalty!?

such pretty korean characters (hanmun*韓文)mask their true meaning, no?

don’t write to me in chinese since i don’t speak the lamguage.

it’s exactly this kind of condescending crap from arrogant westerners that make for an unpleasant experience in korea.

Actually, it’s the incessant hacking, spitting, and chain smoking the local males engage in that comprise the bulk of the unpleasantness. Most everything else is fine and dandy. Brendon provides his share of entertainment, and Sonagi is not even in the country.

‘The exploding battery has to do with chinese manufacturing cutting corners.’

yes, and i believe one of the cases was found to be a fake or some type of set-up. of course, we couldn’t expect anything less from the expat and his sloppy information. that’s what happens when you live your life unshaven.

Sony, Nokia both had the same problems, although Samsung wasn’t as widespread. As I recall, Sony had to do a massive recall on their batteries.

Nah, parents can be selfish bastards sometimes. Those who don’t want to put their kids in a car seat do so because they think that a kid who isn’t crying because he/she wants to get out makes the drive much more enjoyable.
