I've got a start-up planned in Korea, just wondering if anyone else has any advice/experience/stories about starting their own.
Thanks |

| You need money just to get the correct visa. Check with the immigration website, they have it all laid out for you there. |

I had a friend who invested quite a lot in a company as a partner with a Korean. It was an education based company and he put a lot of work into it. He depended on his Korean "partner" to get the right visa, etc... As you might expect, the visa was the wrong one and he had to leave.
The Korean "partner" then tried to rip him off royally as he left. Last I heard, he lost a fair amount of money and was thinking about coming back to Korea to "have a talk" with his ex-partner. I never heard back from him either way on how it went, but I hope he did and got away clean. This was about 2 years ago.

I would never do business with a korean, they are not loyal people!
their culture is superficial based and they know it. deep down they will screw you for a buck then bow and use respect form while they do it. |

Enjoy your 4 week vacation in the Bahamas. Look, it's one thing to be racist and not be an instructor teaching adolescents, and it's another supposedly being a professional and being racist. You can choose to not do business with someone from any culture if that's your choice, we don't wanna hear about it. The way you've trashed the culture and people wholesale goes too far. After your return from the vacation, if we see more posts like this, then Dasvedanya.
We won't want to have such posts on Dave's. Post elsewhere if you want to have a professional job while espousing such views, and many people married to Koreans and have Korean child, and you've essentially demeaned them. |
