The Einstein that thought this up is hoping that people go on cruise ships and visit the Expo along the way Wink

There would be no need for many hotels then, or restaurants.

I am not sure about that Razz
I am still going to be living on land, I don't know about the rest of you.

Why do you think travelling in Korea is hell? I think it's one of the best aspects of living here. It would be difficult to improve the inter city bus travel, and the trains are good too


Public transportation is awesome, driving sucks. It's kind of a wash when compared to the States, imo.


Fair enough. Parking must be a nightmare for a car owner. I ride a scooter and am grateful for it every time I need to stop somewhere

By 2050 Korea will be a province of China, Japan or both anyway. And +1 for the living on land part. Very Happy

That would be funny if economic activity meant 'living'.
