Speaking of bars that lose their leases:

Maybe it’s time for the King’s Tap guys to just start all over.

Todd,

H-1 visa is available to Aussies, NZ, and Canadians. It’s like a working holiday visa similar to Australias’, good for one year but not renewable for consecutive years. You have to apply for it in your own country.
It’s not available to US citizens.The only legal way an American can legally work in a bar is if they are married to a Korean, have ownership of bar and employ a minimum # of Korean staff. You can’t teach on this visa, but it gives you legal right to work in a bar/restaurant and it’s multiple entry as well.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Why does the Facebook Board say this place is closed? I was there last night and it was packed. The manager was cool as well. Hooked me and the crew up with some discount drinks and grub. Cool night out.

I think in his court defense the man might say he was aiming for the American flag behind Bush, as there are no laws currently on the books in that nation’s young democracy for aggravated flag assault by shoe. See how selfish Bush was in not coming to the defense of his own flag? Sheesh.

I would not be surprised if one day he’s discovered actually running a hagwon or three. It’s such a sad day when our teaching industry becomes a refuge for fugitives, so in that regard, I hope he’s found working in Yeoido or in government. There are lots of criminals there.

I came across this site from a thread on another site (Korean). If these foreigners want to know what’s really happening and can at least read some Korean, they should look at the Naver Netizen Board. There is a group targeting this place and it’s owners. I think we all know how powerful (and hardcore ruthless) these people can be. I’d watch my back (and visa status) if I were them.
