The artcle is about the ever-expanding length of time people are enduring to travel to work. 20+ hours a week spent driving/commuting? I'd lose my mind.

Funny...on Sunday I had dinner with a colleague and we got to talking about what we want out of life. She wants a house, I'd like a house (someday, in Thailand  ), but right now I am perfectly happy with my Korean one-room that is close to where I work. I've never been interested in the suburban dream. Not that it's not right for some people, it's just not something I've ever felt I'd miss by not having.
A few years ago I even heard of people commuting from the shores of Georgian Bay into downtown Toronto, 2 hours back and forth every day. These people are nuts...BTJMO. |

Apparently a lot of Koreans endure this kinda nonsense; as do many others.
I'm totally with you on this one CANOOK. Well-being? Uh ... NO!
