Lies make baby Jesus cry, Tiberious aka Sparkles. Granted, lies don't make him bawl as much as your sex life does but, nonetheless, tears do flow freely at the mere sight of such deception.

According to members of my church who've served their missions in Daejeon, Taco Bell is popular there & it's not on base.


There is no taco bell in Korea that isn't on base...

You can check their wiki if you don't believe me...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taco_bell

I am sure there a few Taco bells, just like there are a few Tim hortons in korea...they are just a rip-off.

You are my hero. Please GOD, let it be true.


New Core Outlet is the one with the theatre, right?

Not that I care. I prefer Taco Time myself. Huger portions, and no grade-D meat.

Come on, there's no Taco Bell in Bundang. That's ridiculous. I don't think they would open a restaurant in Korea. Not enough Koreans are interested in Mexican food except maybe in downtown Seoul. If they opened a branch near Itaewon, they would do fine...

That's what I thought. Actually, there were Taco Bells in Korea before the late 1990s financial crash.

And you think I'm going to spend 500 bucks to fly to Osaka to get some Taco Bell?Smile LOL I definitely love Mexican food. I think Mexican food can do well in certain big cities in Japan, because Japanese people often like things from America including food. Koreans generally just like Korean or Japanese food. So it is hard for foreign restaurants to do well unless they are around lots of foreigners or cosmopolitan Koreans..

China

Taco Bell Grande's LogoIn 2003, Yum! Brands introduced the Taco Bell brand into People's Republic of China. The Chinese Taco Bell restaurants are not fast-food restaurants like other Taco Bell restaurants are. Instead, they are full-service restaurants called Taco Bell Grande that are more analogous to a Mexican grill in the United States. In addition to the usual taco and burritos, Taco Bell Grande also serves other Mexican cuisine like alb�ndigas (meatball soup), tomatillo grilled chicken, fajitas, and alcoholic drinks such as Margaritas. Currently the chain has three restaurants in China, two in Shenzhen and one in Shanghai
