The people with the answers…

A few years ago i did a short stint as a volunteer with the Seoul Help Center for Foreigners. It was set up by the Seoul Metropolitan Government to help foreigners living in Seoul get around with more ease. Questions ranged from tax issues, labor law, real estate to more complicated subjects like, “Where can i buy….(live Crawfish for example)”

I tell you, we saw it all. Actually, i probably gave my colleagues so many headaches because it was i who always had a few questions of my own…(like the crawfish question above). I also wanted to know importing rules and regulations, companies that sold “Galbi” tables, Pro Bono Legal Help (long story), and the location of the go-cart tracks around town.

Let me say this: i got all the information that i could ever want–sometimes it took a few days, but usually anything i asked, i got the low down from the group of talented “researchers”.

So, here’s a plug for the Seoul Help Center for Foreigners…check it out.
