- Poor people will either walk or ride the bus. Rich people will either drive themselves or be driven somewhere by someone.
- Instead of driving after someone on a car or bus, a person will chase him/her on foot. Or maybe a bike. But probably just running.
- Suddenly pulling over in traffic is no problem, even if it’s on a bridge. This also applies to making random, sudden u-turns in the middle of the street.
- There will never be traffic to stop you from pulling over or making a dramatic u-turn.
- When upset, drive really fast in your car. You will never get a ticket for it.
- You can park your car anywhere, whether it’s blocking a street or in front of a hospital or airport. Your can will never get a ticket or be towed.
- Putting on a seat belt can be difficult for a woman and can require help from the man she’s interested in. This normally only happens when they like each other.
- Airport security is different in Korea. Like American security used to be, you can run up to a gate without a ticket or ID.
- If you are going to the airport to catch someone, even if you do not know the airline that the flight is on, you will still be able to find him/her. While looking for him/her, you will run randomly and probably pass them several times without seeing him/her.
- When you disembark from a plane, you *must* wear your sunglasses.
- Jeju Island is the only real vacation spot in Korea and is one of the most beautiful places in all the world.
