I'm guessing with a small teaching salary, everyone ride a bike to work or use public transportation?

[thegadfly]

I ride a specially trained Korean Condor (much bigger and better than other varieties of condor). Other people I have heard of, however, do this really strange thing and...now let me see if I remember correctly...they take a "Driver's Test" to get this special card called a "Driver's License." This card makes it legal for a person in Korea to operate a specialized piece of machinery, called an "Automobile Carriage." Funny language that it is, that descriptive and easily understandable term is truncated to the enigmatic form "Car."

The special card is not a requisite to OWNING such a machine, but it is for operating one. Even more confusing is the fact that one can get a specialized card in one's home country that enables one to operate such a machine, at least temporarily, in a foreign country....

Weird, huh?

Walk, ride a bike, skate, skateboard, take a bus, train, subway, taxi, or drive a car to work -- that about cover the bases? I suppose one could ski in the winter, in certain places -- how were you EXPECTING people to get to work?

Is a palanquin carried by kindergarteners considered public transportation?

Ship your car over to Korea, then you'll have it covered.

I use Floo powder. Widely available at your local mart.

I just use my old Nimbus 2000. It was the fastest thing going back in its day but still gets me there and back despite its age.

How much does that cost to ship your car to Korea?

Haha. Harry Potter.
