You're in the wrong place.  |
You just have to make your own comfort zone .
To me that means things like avoiding public transport or eating out unless absolutely necessary. I will even take a taxi over walking on the street for half an hour. Anything that works for you to reduce the daily stress factor. |

"“Smartphone producers should test drive their prototypes in Korea. How early adapters respond to new products may give constructive feedback on the product.”"
That's basically what some of them do, so Korean consumers who buy the latest models end up with phones that are full of bugs and then must wait until the phone is released abroad in order to get a better functioning update...or at least that's been my experience with buying a phone that was at the cutting edge of technology at the time. |
