This is Paradise. Why, just the other day I drank a bunch of soju and fired off roman candles at the playground and nothing happened.

I think, from what I've heard of the laws, that they aren't the problem, for the most part. The lax enforcement and the institutionalised aweful driving habits are what need to be turned around. I know all about New Zealand drivers, but we're not that bad!

Korean immigration law on the other hand...well, they're probably WAY too many threads floating around to bring that up. We're all aware how messed up they are.


I've actually asked a few Koreans about their opinions on cops and law enforcement in Korea. Cops don't have a lot of respect here. It's not the kind of job that a kid or teenager would ever aspire to. Due to Korea's unique history, cops are held in suspicion by most people, so it's typical for cops to maintain a low profile here. That's one reason that protests here can get pretty aggressive. Cops tend to let protesters really voice their opinion. Lots more was said, but you get the gist.
