I swear, this country needs more than one waterslide park...
I figure if there were someone around somewhere (or if i'd be living here for the rest of my life) I would already be scouting out the possibilities.
They NEED a water park in busan... i mean there are "mountains" EVERYWHERE; the season is almost 8 months long... those poor saps in the southwest have to go all the way up to seoul to spend an hour and a half waiting in line to go down one slide.
Let them spent and hour and a half waiting for a slide without having to drive five hours....
I can't see HOW an idea like that would be anything but a license to print money...
anyone have any schemes to get rich here?
I see tibs (or was that leslie.....i lose track..) had a snack idea... |

| Study copyright law, and just walk around handing out subpoenas to all the businesses that violate copyrights. |

this country needs alot of things!
what I have found here is, Koreans dont really build for entertainment purposes! its all about Studying! studying! studying!
sure a water park would work! look at carribean bay! way over priced and it kills it!! many ideas would work!
but in this country! you need MILLIONS! hundreds of millions!
money just aint around.;. |

| I wish there were home improvement stores- like Menards or Loews (I forget the name- don't have that one in my state, as far as I know). I don't know how you'd go about buying lumber here. Or a jigsaw, for that matter. Then again, I doubt a store like that would do well here. I don't know any Koreans that are into carpentry. I just like being able to walk into a super store and do the 1 stop shopping thing- you don't have to truck around from a plant nursery to a hardware store to a lighting store, etc., etc. Then again, if there are superstores, that means all the mom and pop stores get squashed. That's an entirely different thread, though. |

Or you could go into the "stop smoking" business.........stopping addictiveness will be a big time thing here in the future. This economy is at the developmental point where lifestyle/health will become a concern. Especially as leisure time increases and other western trends reach maturity here...
I'd invent some ginseng that combats nicotine addiction or also just consult on health issues.
I've also patented an invention -- a mouse that gives the user a shock when the computer uses is online past a set time. You can buy the mice in a variety of hourly allotments.......Shock therapy is tried and true in getting addictive behaviours under control. My only concern is getting it past the regulators/govt officials.

| How about instead of having girls sit up in the red windows for the Korean men to get with and drink, we start putting some English teachers in windows and drunk Korean business men can come practice their English and feel up our legs. |

Combining ESL with prostitution...brilliant. And it won't take much to make the changes. |

I thought that's what Watts on Tap in Shinchon was all about. |

I do alot of hardware shopping here. They have a very good range of good materials and crafts and tools. The mom and pop stores have the benefit that they buy their own goods and sometimes that means strange things. I was at the lumber market this morning. Specialty wood is hard to come by but I did find several excellent pieces of mahagony. Bamboo is strangely hard to come by. I need to travel at least 2 hours to get some. |

I really like the mom and pop stores better becasue I can just take a short walk from my flat and buy everything I need. I prefer that to taking an extended bus ride to Emart or Wal Mart and lugging all those things back to my place. I think the mom and pop establishments are what also contributes to the safety of a community. I rmember in my home town when the mom and pop places left and were replaced by empty streetfronts there was a dramatic increase in violence and illegal activity in those areas. |

Mini Golf (Putt Putt Golf)
Koreans love golf, yet its out of reach for most middle income families. Plus, those who do 'play' the game just spend hours at the green-netted driving range hitting drives off the tee. No short game or putting practice at all. More Mini Golfs around could tap into both these markets.
Plus, Koreans need more things to do as a family. |

This is actually my secret idea too, which I wasn't going to mention here. Another advantage to mini-golf is it doesn't take a lot of area. I'm still investigating whether there are mini golf courses in Korea. Some Koreans claim there are, but it could be a bizarre putting range. There is also one on Yongsan Air Base. When that place gets shut down I'm very curious what will happen to the mini-golf. |
