Alice was great, but the 3D was unnecessary. Some other very cool digital effects to be sure, however. Incredible animation!

I don’t know of any in English, but I did some at a studio in Gungdong that were at least friendly to non-Korean speakers.

Heya,

I’m looking for yoga classes in Daejeon. Preferably in English. Anyone know of anything? I live in Yuseong.

Also looking for dance classes here in Daejeon…I live right next to Chungnam University. I wold love to try out the latin place mentioned above, and think I can probably find it. However, I would really love some jazz/hip-hop classes as well. Also, looking for some local hot yoga (or regular yoga classes). Any and all info is really appreciated! Thanks!

has anyone tried receiving tweets from this service? what was the cost, and can you select who you receive the messages from, rather than all of the people you follow?

It was from reading “The Lovely Bones” that I quickly disregarded the books Oprah was peddling.

This is interesting, not sure if there was a typo, or a misstatement. Most likely I’m probably missing some info, but from the source article…

The top line, just below the headline: “February 20, 2010
Expats earning less than 100 million won ($86,133) a year will likely pay more taxes this year than last year because the government is ending a special tax benefit that foreigners had received. ”

Later in the source article, but not quoted above: “‘It varies from person to person, but it is likely that foreigners with less than 100 million won in income will pay more taxes from this year,’ said an NTS official. …’The 15 percent rule is scheduled to expire in 2012..” The NTS official goes on to say they might extend the tax break…

A thoroughly confusing article though not quite as definite, also not definitely as soon as the date, this post indicates; the source article raises more questions than it answers.

I’m pretty sure you’re going to need to speak at least some Korean if you want to get hired on as wait staff here. I’m not sure what the limits are on your student visa, either, so be cautious as you seek out work in town. Once your Korean improves, however, there are positions for bilingual staff in some shops near KAIST/Chungnam Univerisity.

Yes, but I believe emailing from your phone is a fair bit more expensive, isn’t it? Anyhow, if you want to send a photo, that’s how you’d have to go about it.

I can use TwitPic from my Korean phone, but I have to send it as an email not as a text. This service is great though thanks for sharing.
