For many South Korean business owners, President Park Geun-hye’s impeachment Friday was a moment to celebrate — with a sale.
A hotel in the harbor city of Busan put a banner outside that all of its rooms were free Friday to mark Park’s suspension as president, pending a court ruling on whether to remove her from office. Mom-and-pop restaurants, a hotel near a famous beach, a music shop and a clothing store were among businesses offering discounts.
One South Korean who runs a restaurant selling $2 rice rolls known as gimbap in western Seoul said she will sell them a quarter cheaper until Saturday to celebrate.
As the influence-peddling scandal involving Park and a longtime confidante unfolded, South Korean consumer sentiment hit its lowest level in seven years in November.

Imagine if our Presudent had to answer for his cover up of Clinton’s pay to play scheme of selling government favors for foundation donations from foreign countries and businesses. Our government and media corrupt beyond belief, dishonest, sneaky, and low handed. Finally one half of this problem is soon gone, the other just needs to be exposed so more.
Well the Korean congress had the guts to do what the U. S. congress had no courage to do.
Yes, we should have been rid of the Clintons and Obama 8 years ago, but we have a bunch of crooked idiots out there somewhere that are always trying to have their way… It backfired this election year because God is fed up and He heard His peoples prayers………….. But we need to keep praying that God will be the decision maker… We should ever be thankful that Hillary Clinton was ditched and hope someone will hurry and cover that ditch up… We also need to keep Trump in our prayers.. These Clinton kill people that get in their way…
Why we cant do that to Hell-lary and obama and other crooked politicians who go to dominican republic using tax payers money to have sex with under age boys and girls.
Americans need to stand up to liars n cheats n robbers in our congress . Impeach them all , even if one at a time. Ya know like pelosi , reid , ovmoit, clintons , soros , to many to name , but mostly demrats ! Thieves….unAmerican all for themselves. They should all be investigated an all the money they have used out of the peoples taxes should be paid back. Including all thier rotten kids free college educations , free fancy cars ,new homes bought with free tax money from the ppl ! Free to them, the tax payers suffer. Enough is enough…go Trump /Pence !
Think this would have happened here over the past eight to fifty years. As long as we have our sports, television and creature comforts we just don’t care.
