I've recently come to realize that there are a few things missing from Korea (yes, yes...South, not North...not that they have these things either). Now, it's not life threatening, but the fact that these things, "companies," have taken no interest in investing in Korea just annoys the crap out of me, especially since they all have seemed to have nested in other areas of the world that are a little more remote, less visible, not important (well...that's my opinion anyway). For example, IKEA has yet to set up a store in Seoul. I mean, come on. This is a company that has over 30 locations all over the world, and they can't build one in Seoul? Why does Malaysia get one, but not Korea? Another example: H&M. They have a freakin' store in Qatar. COME ON. Where the hell is that, and how the hell do you pronounce that anyway, right? Apparently, it's a tiny peninsula that's attached to Saudia Arabia. It's the size of my apartment (I just had to Google map it. Speaking of Google, they currently don't have a location in Korea, but they're trying to set something up...about damn time...). Why are the British hatin' on the Koreans? Just because they never conquered Korea doesn't mean that they have to deprive us of cheap and fabulous clothes. I just think it's unfair that the freakin' UAE gets all the above mentioned, and Korea, where half of the stuff that Americans buy comes from, doesn't get jack. Arrgh....

Qatar is the headquarters of Al Jezeera. United Arab Emirates got too much money and no clothes, good business there. Like I said, Koreans already have everything, there is nothing to sell you people.
