This quarter (I can't wait until we switch to the semester system!) I chose to study South Korea for one of my logistics/international business classes.

I've learned some really interesting facts about South Korea from lurking TL for so long, so I thought this would be ezpz. I even procrastinated to the point of no return - I need this paper turned in (online class) by midnight tonight.

I wrote some bits and pieces a couple weeks ago, tossed 'em in the "bleh" folder on my desktop, and basically forgot about the damn thing until earlier today.. O.o

It needs to be approximately 15 pages long. I can't believe this lame 3 credit class has required so much work - even for an online class. I just completed my midterm last week in addition to the shit ton of papers I've written for this one class. My course load this quarter is quite heavy, but I'm still super disappointed that I let myself forget about this. : /

I'm only having difficulty with finding DETAILED info on a few topics:

1. Infrastructure
2. Business Etiquette (acceptable personal and business attire, language barriers, relocation issues, housing for expatriates, security when doing business there, work visa requirements, ease of entry and exiting the country)
3. Interesting facts/info on major US companies and industries doing business there
4. Political/legal/cultural influences in regards to how business development is encouraged
5. Does South Korea do anything (directly/indirectly) that discourages business or causes companies to be unsuccessful? (I may cut this from my paper, but IDK yet.)
6. News/current events impacting business?

Also, anything regarding culture (that isn't easily found via google) would be extremely helpful. Family life, language, religion, customs... If you know any little tid bits about anything I can most likely use it!

I pretty much have all the information you can gather utilizing the interwebz. I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask TL because I've learned some random (and really interesting) stuff about South Korea before through blogs.

Right now, I'm focusing on numbers relating to economic integration/growth in the country (my strong suit).

TL, do you have anything interesting you can tell me (even if it doesn't relate to business - I can twist it!) that you may have read or heard somewhere? Perhaps you've visited the country and can give me some super awesome examples?

Have you tried p.ming those you know who are in or have been to Korea?
A lot of notable figures on TL are from Korea or reside in Korea.

I don't want to personally bother anyone.

Ahh, I'm starting to panic! I've got 6 hours.

Maybe look into TheMightyAtom's blogs here. :p He wrote a lot about doing business in korea for a big consulting firm. It's all pretty anecdotal though.

Wouldn't you need to source your statements if it's a research paper? I'm not sure TL.net would be very authoritative...

I don't need to provide sources for everything. Only if it's number-related or I'm using direct quotes, per the instructor. Maybe it's the overwhelming amount of topics that I need to discuss ..or it could be the sheer number of papers this d-bag has had us write this quarter.

15 pages in 6 hours??? You're screwed. My advice:

1. Figure out the worst case scenario. Will you still pass if you fail this essay?

2. Send the instructor an email, acknowledging that you screwed up, and asking for an extension by a few days. Mention that you will do step #3.

3. Figure out what how much you think you can write in 6 hours, write it up, and submit it, so that at least you have something to hand in. You're not going to make 15 pages without writing something obviously terrible; try for 8-10 pages.

Family life..pretty much the korean women do EVERYTHING..they clean the house, make the food, do laundary, make sure the children are disciplined and do well in school, and go to work from early morning till dawn EVERYDAY(even when it's snowing). All the korean male does is go to work and make money to provide for the family and just be lazy around the house. When I went to Korea this summer, my uncle just goes to work from morning till night, comes home after drinking beer or w/e, strips to his underwear and just turns the tv on and lays on the couch lol. We korean men are truely useless..I'm in college and I can't cook at all..have to ask mom to make food for me and even had to learn how to do laundary and all the basic stuff when I was a freshman. <---so I'm not sure if this helps or not but this is just what i observed within my family.

Now about language..uhhh..we speak korean? lol. But there is this thing called "saturi" which is basically equivalent to an accent. Like how texans speak with an accent, it's the exact same thing. If I go further in depth, you always gotta speak formally to adults and ppl that are older than u and ppl u meet for the first time out of respect. You call an older male "hyung" and "noona" if your a guy but it's differnt if ur a girl(oppa and unni if ur interested). It's really easy to learn the basic but hard to master. My roommate who was white learned to write his name withing one day lol and I didn't even teach him..he just googled some stuff that pronounced the alphabet characters and learned lol. Well i helped him with his name but he understood how to do 70% of it. I think I read somewhere here that our language was completely made from scratch by a Korean King with a bunch of gathered scientists. I'll try to find the thread and edit it in here. I dont know what else you wanna know about the language but this is what I can come up with so far at the top of my head.

Religion..I would say christian but honestly..i don't know anymore. I know alot of christian but that's cuz my dad is a pastor and I came up from a christian home but I know some koreans that are differnt religion or dont go to church at all so I guess it's similar to united states where u have freedom of religion and everyone has their own thing.

For customs, the first thing that pops into my head is in new year's, you gotta wear this thing called "hanbok" and do like a "bow" or "jul" in korean and you get money for doing it lol. I got 40 bucks last year from doing them. In your birthday you have this soup called "mi yuk gook" or seaweed soup. Um, my memory is a bit hazy on this one so hopefully nobody crucifys me on this but i think everyone turns a year older at new year's instead of ur actual birthdate. Also I'm not sure if this belongs in this section but manners is pretty big in korea..like not eating until adults all ate first or not sitting at the table until all the adults sit first..stuff like that.

If you need more stuff feel free to ask and if I know it I'll try to help.

edit: Here it is:
http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=188053

It's Kakera's post:
Hints: Chinese is orally based, Korean language is the only one that has been created. An old King of their's literally got a bunch of scientists together and created their language, the shapes of the characters typically shaped like the form your mouth would take. Also there is plenty of grammar, as much as you're going to find in a Asian language. They have endings which changed based on tense and whatever.
We have competitive ladder, strong community, progaming in Korea going strong, perfectly balanced game..why do we need sc2? #1 ANTI-SC2 fan
