AAAAHHHH MosquiTOES!!!

Well I had to get it off my chest, Korean mosquitoes are crazy!!!! AAAAAHHHHHH!

Whether you live in the 20th floor of an apartment building, in a house or in a hotel, they are everywhere! They follow you up in the elevators and in your house if you are not careful, I heard there was once a korean TV series that said they can even make their way through the mosquitoe nets on the windows!

They wait in your room hidden behind an object, and once you turn your lights off they come and eat you alive! And these bastards are fast! If you try to catch them they hide somewhere!

Calling overseas, help please!

Alright I bought this international calling card in a convenience store and well unbelievably these cards cannot be used from a public phone (???).

Anyway I talked with my sharemate and he said the cards he bought can also only be used from landlines phones or cellphones. I do have a cellphone but it's prepaid and too expensive to call from. And I don't have a land phone!!

Small business license for Westerners?

Hi All,

Does anybody here know any English-speaking Korean lawyer who can assist me with advice on a few business start-up questions?  The info I’m initially looking for is regarding Westerners wanting to set up a small business in Seoul (e.g. retailing, professional services, trade- independent locksmith, plumber, etc.).

Why?!?!?! - Pet Adoption

Why is it that people are on this website trying to find a loving home for their pet? I guess a better question is WHY do people on a 1 year contract feel the need to get a pet they can only keep for a short while? Because they just had to have that cute, cuddly kitten? Because they didn't want to be lonely? Why?!?! It seems so utterly stupid that now you have to give your cat or dog away.

Integrating job ad feedback

 It's our first week of using the Koreabridge.net interface and someone just posted a detailed negative comment on a job ad.  My first thought, was 'uh-oh, here comes the blacklist kind of stuff - shields up!'.  In the past, we have always avoided any kind of black list postings out of concern for things getting out of hand, the challenge of maintaining some sense of civility and fairness, and potential legal concerns.  Howerver, if ever there was a time to reconsider this, it is now.
