A little educational video I put together. It's kinda crap. Windows Moviemaker is slow and buggy.

Try living in Busan there is no sidewalks.

I was hit twice by cars.. So comperatively speaking its more dangerous to walk in busan then driving a motorcycle. Got into one motorcycle accident in Changwon none in Busan.

Ha! Well done (and funny at times).

I use a lot of those techniques myself- especially the one about finding blockers. You know how the Grand Hyatt is on top of a hill? I live halfway down one of those steep and windy roads. There are no sidewalks, the road is narrow and people go pretty fast. I use whatever I can to block me from other cars- people, parked cars, light posts, etcetera.

As an aside, what happened to your rotating collection of pretty lady avatars? If you've run out, no one's gonna complain about the standard Lee Hyori picture...

Loved it! Thanks for the laugh. This should be mandatory viewing for all visiting friends and family members.

I was initially skeptical but was soon chuckling. I particularly like the 'Lawsuit' bit. Haha! Nice work.

I may upload to my blog.

He made a crucial boo-boo in neglecting to include a section warning pedestrians to keep an eye out for upturned, broken or wiggly paving tiles/bricks. Those sobriety tests can be found on every block in the Republic of Sprained Ankles.

The first time I was in Korea I kept bumping into people on the street. In the U.S., you usually walk on your right. When you're about to bump into someone, he goes to his right and you go to your right. Very simple. Totally the opposite in Korea (좌측통행!). He goes to his left, I go to my right; boom! Of course ajummas will go in any direction (usually the one you've chosen). How about a Korean NFL team? The Seoul Ajummas.

Cute... I was talking with Itaewonguy about driving around in my car and recording cars doing stupid stuff. We'd love to do it, but he's really busy.

Funny (and true)...

Nice. I could have used your 'How to open a samgak kimbap' video a little earlier. I absolutely destroyed my first one.
