I had co-workers who went through that- they piled into a taxi one late night in Itaewon and told the driver to go to Taechong (now spelled Daecheong) station (i.e. the subway station in Kangnam near Suseo). They passed out and the driver woke them up at the train station in the city of T/Daejon!

That could be your friends' mistake. They may have said "��" rather than "����ö��". Coupled with the similarites between the place names it's easy to understand the mistake. Still, I am just speculating!  |

Not harrowing, but incredibly funny:
Taxi driver: " I like you."
"I love you."
"I want sex."
Me: "No, thank you!"
(Hmmm.....30,000 ride...maybe I should have said "Sure!" |

Last week in my small town the driver suddenly realised I was a foreigner. It was late at night, he was quite curious about me, had to do a full head turn because his glass eye couldn't get a glimpse of me, all the while veering off into oncoming traffic.  |

| I once took a taxi one night from Busan to Puyo (yes, really) and the driver stayed around 170km/h the whole way, including some nice hairpin bends which he at least slowed down to around 120 to take. It wouldn't have been so bad if the trip didn't last for hours. It was the only time in my life I was in fear for my life while taking a taxi. |
