Asian shoes on www.asie-shop.com

I've created a company, it exports Japanese and Korean products, mostly shoes.

Here it is:
Asie-Shop.com

Japan and Korea are among leaders for fashion and sports technology. That's why a lot of manufacturers relase only some shoes model in Japan or Korea. Japanese brands and designers of course like Onitsuka Tiger also known as Asics Tiger, Sou.Sou or Bapesta, but also french brands like Le coq Sportif.

It is the same for the world leaders in running shoes Asics and Mizuno.
The Asics Marathon Sortie and Marathon Magic series are being relased only in japan, althought they are their best running shoes !!!



This is the Le Coq Sportif Korea - Peugeot 207cc shoe

Blog activity

Apparently, no one read this blog (nobody answered the poll on the right).
It seems that people prefers the french version, so I'll stop to update this blog and use only http://remikorea.blogspot.com/

Incoming Typhoon

We have a nice typhoon who goes closer and closer. Usagi (It's it's name) should arrive around the 3rd of August.

We can predict a very bad weather for the next week.

One week of holidays

My korean lessons start on wednesday so I have one week of holidays.

I met two swiss friends in Korea, John and Denis, both are AIESEC Members (AIESEC is a student organisation). We went to Karaoke, we ate korean barbecue and had some drinks (Not too much).

Three special things in Korea:

-There are starcraft championships on TV.

-The Mc Donald's Bacon Tomato Burger, bigger than the Big Mac.

-The convenience stores open 24 / 365 (If only they had that in switzerland).

First contact with SKKU and INHA

Note: SKKU=the university where I'l study korean for a month
INHA=The university where I'll study during the rest of the year.

Today was a long day, I fist went to the SungKyunKwan University to tell them that I was arrived in Korea and to ask for some information.

Then started the quest for the alien registration card: I would like a cell phone, but I need a bank book to do that, and to open a bank account I need a smart card (INHA university card which is linked to the bank account). To get the smart card I first need an Alien Registration Card (aka ARC) as needed for 90% of the things where you need to subscribe in Korea.
Wait, I’ve not finished, to get the ARC you need two things: a certificate of enrolment from INHA (I got it really quickly, thanks M. Kim) and to have my presence in Korea registered by the immigration service… they told me that it will take about 7 days. So nothing for 7 days from now.

At INHA University I finally met M. Kim, the International relations responsible, who has been really nice. He called the immigration office for me and then get out with me in order to bring me to some real estate agency and then visited with me some flats. I found a perfect flat, all mew, building with an elevator, a convenience store on the 1st floor, 10mins far from INHA by foot. (You’ll get the pictures when I’ll move in).

About INHA I'll take more pictures when I'll be there as a student.
