| Does that place still exist? I'm in Busan right now; can anyone tell me where it is? I really need to go there and get a picture. |

| If you're still here, there's one up the street from where I live. Best thing to tell the taxi driver would be Juhng-boh Dae-hak and you'll see it on the left while you drive up the street(this is near Gu-po Station). I think there's at least one more in the Seo-myeon area, although it might be a "ditler" or sth like that. If you're facing Starbucks, you want to take the road on the immediate right and go down maybe 200m. I believe it's on the right side, but not on the ground floor, so you'll have to look up and around a little. |

| If ever you are in Cheongju, there is a small hip hop clothes shop just off the main shopping street in Shinnae by the same name. I'm intending to open a Korean restaurant called TojoComfortwomenHappyDokdoisIlbonDdangPia when I return to my home country. |

In Gangneung on the main strip, there's a clothes shop that has a nazi flag drapped over it.
I pointed it out to my kiwi mate when we walked past it. He said "what's the problem? That's just a jewish flag". I think he meant to say Buddist.
Gotta love the kiwis. |

Yeah, you can see it all over the place. I've seen nazi shirts in Ehwa market.
A friend of mine in the Canadian army is visiting from Afghanistan. He's still in Busan so maybe I'll try to give him a call about it tomorrow. |

Good luck with that one.
Seems ignorance loves company. |

Surely, the equivalent would be opening a Kim Il-Sung, or Mao Tse-Tung theme bar. There are plenty of communist theme bars in the West, but apparently they aren't a problem, even though Lenin, Stalin and Mao killed millions. |

In Edinburgh there was a Wok Bar that changed its name to Chairman Mao's.. for about.. 2 weeks. Then it changed back to Wok Bar. I don't know why, but I can take a guess =) |

Your point? Mohammed may not have matched the genocidal feats of Pol Pot and co., but he was indeed a 'very naughty boy'. Well, naughty is a bit of an understatement. It doesn't quite encapsulate rape, slaughtering captured prisoners, assasinating critics and having sex with 9 year old girls.
I wonder how long a Mohammed theme bar would last? |

Difference being that they (communist themed bars) don't outwardly glorify an ism that supports the killing of a certain ethnicity or religious group. Don't get me wrong, I believe communism to be the most half-assed and potentially dangerous ideology the world has ever seen, but nothing I have seen in the writings of Marx and Lenin is as inherently evil as National Socialism. Deifying personalities like Mao, who was a butcher of the highest order, yes that is on a par with naming a business after Hitler. |

| That bar's been history for years. Even after the re-naming. |

Clothes shop in Cheongju is still a reality though. I'll try to take a pic this long weekend and post here. |
