Hmm...I thought it was funny at first, but after reading Time's comment (http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1914471,00.html?xid=rss-world), it may not be that great for Korean women... Confused

Korean women have it hard, not denying it. But I doubt the "let's give them a better parking spot" theory is going to work, lol.

We did have pink parking spots in a few spots where I grew up, but they were for pregnant women, not women wearing high heels.

I read the article mimis, thanks. Gave us something else to think about.

The Emart at Yongsan as a special parking area that is set aside for women...that is usually taken up by "lazy men." So, they may set aside parking spots for women and the disabled in Korea, but without enforcement it will be first-come-first-served

This is freakin hilarious. It's a bit wrong, and sexist and all that. It reminds me of a law Al Bundy would create.

Korea rules.
