Nazi theme bar in Seoul provokes
                  anger

                  SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- Nazi
                  flags emblazoned with swastikas hang
                  from the ceiling and photographs of
                  Adolf Hitler adorn the walls, along
                  with Nazi propaganda posters and
                  military insignia.
                  It is all part of the theme of a bar
                  named "Jae3JaeGuk," (pronounced
                  J-sahm-J-cook), or The Third Reich, located in
Shinchon, a busy
                  commercial district in downtown Seoul.
                  There, young South Koreans frolic in dim light,
sipping a rum cocktail named
                  "Adolf Hitler" that is served by waiters and
waitresses wearing mock black
                  Nazi uniforms.
                  "There is nothing political about the bar. I only want
to attract people's
                  attention for business," said Hyun sae-woog, who
opened the place a year
                  ago.
                  In an interview late Monday, Hyun said he does not
support Hitler. His
                  knowledge of the Nazi leader is limited to the
"killing of some Jews."
                  But the presence of the bar -- which has provoked
angry protests from
                  Israeli officials and a Jewish group -- appears to be
another indication of
                  how little some Asians know about the scale of the
atrocities the Nazis
                  committed against Jews during World War II.
                  For example, in Taiwan, the owners of a restaurant
that had decorated its
                  walls with pictures of Nazi death camps removed them
in January, shortly
                  after The Associated Press reported that Jewish and
German residents
                  considered the decor offensive.
                  The owners of "The Jail" restaurant in Taipei said
they did not realize the
                  images might offend some customers.
                  In addition, a trading company selling German-made
electric heaters
                  designed a cartoon caricature of Hitler for ads in
buses, store windows and
                  subway stations throughout Taipei. The posters were
immediately taken
                  down last year after Jewish and German residents
complained.
                  Like Taiwan, most South Koreans can describe in great
detail the massacres
                  and other atrocities committed by Japanese troops who
controlled Taiwan,
                  parts of China and the Korean peninsula during World
War II. But many
                  understand little about what happened in Europe during
the war, including
                  the Holocaust.
                  Only 1,500 Germans and fewer than 100 Israelis live in
South Korea, and
                  that might be one reason why The Third Reich bar has
attracted little media
                  attention.
                  Seoul also is filled with many bars, and the Third
Reich isn't the first one to
                  arrange its decor according to a controversial theme.
                  In 1987, a bar called "Gestapo" near a U.S. Army base
in downtown Seoul
                  changed its name after complaints by the German
Embassy and pressure by
                  the Seoul government.
                  But the Third Reich didn't draw attention until last
month, when the Simon
                  Wiesenthal Center, a prominent Jewish human rights
organization based in
                  Los Angeles, said that it wanted the bar closed,
calling it a "virtual shrine to
                  Adolf Hitler and Nazism."
                  "The open existence of such an establishment mocks the
memory of millions
                  of victims of Nazism," the center said in a Feb. 28
letter to Lee Hong-koo,
                  South Korea's ambassador to the United States.
                  The Israeli Embassy in Seoul also sent a protest
letter to the South Korean
                  government in February. "We are very disturbed. We
would prefer if the bar
                  used a better example of history as its theme," said
First Secretary Ariel
                  Shafransky at the Israeli Embassy.
                  Officials at the German Embassy in Seoul agreed.
                  "I would like to highlight how intolerable it is, not
only for the German
                  government but also for all the others, especially
Israelis," said Oliver
                  Schramm, a German Embassy counselor.
                  Officials at South Korea's Foreign Ministry declined
to comment. However,
                  Hyun said government officials visited him twice to
try to persuade him to
                  change the bar's name and decorations.
                  He said he is considering "making some changes," but
does not understand
                  why his bar is causing so much controversy.
                  Local government officials said there is no legal
ground for them to crack
                  down on the bar. The use of Nazi symbols is illegal in
Germany, but not in
                  South Korea.
                  "We went there twice and appealed to the owner to
remove the Nazi flags
                  and photos, saying it could cause a diplomatic
problem. We got a positive
                  response," said Yoo Myong-yeol, a local government
official.
                  Customers' reactions vary.
                  "This is a well-designed bar. The colors match, and
the music is good. That's
                  all I care about," said Yo Sung-kwan, 25, a design
student who was at the
                  bar Monday night.
                  But Hyun admitted that some customers, especially
Western students from
                  nearby universities, occasionally come to protest.
                  "They've sometimes made scenes. So, I decided not to
take foreign
                  customers anymore," he said.

Ne vuoi la traduzione, o la posti sotto l'effetto di sostanze stupefacenti
senza accorgerti che il Ng è italiano e non tutti conoscono la lingua
inglese bene come te?
P.S
Io non credo che tu conosca bene la lingua inglese.
Io non credo che tu conosca....un cazzo!

 Io non credo che tu conosca....un cazzo!
in compenso conosco una testa di cazzo. Tu.

Bravo! Adesso sforzati e prova a spiegare la stronzata da pseudointellettuale
che hai fatto pubblicando un post in inglese.
