Only in Korea, part II

So, it's the morning, you are running to work and you go out to the parking lot to get your car. Oh no! Someone (or several someones) has parked in front of you, behind you and on both sides. The cars are touching bumpers. You are completely blocked in on all sides.... whatever shall you do?

If you are in Korea, you grab the nearest bystander and get to work pushing the cars out of the way. See, the cars are parked any which way (sometimes even double parked on a street, with a rock in front of one of the tires) but left in neutral. So, if the guy in the 2nd space from the left wants his car, he just needs to push the others out of the way. A car not left in neutral? No problem. The owner has probably left his cell phone number on the inside of the back window so that you can call him and he'll come out to help you move his car out of the way.

Then, you drive away, blissfully ignoring all red lights that you may come across...

Oh, and U-turns are no problem here. It's great to be on a city bus that has a U-turn as a part of its bus route! It's much less wonderful, however, to be in a taxi that pulls a U-turn in the middle of an intersection when the light has already changed and you just close your eyes and refuse to open them until you realize that you are safely going the other direction and there's really nothing to worry about but your heart is beating in your ears and you just can't wait to get to wherever you need to go and the taxi driver is attempting all his English phrases on you and/or chattering to you in Korean so you just smile and then he realizes there's a short cut so let's pull another U-turn. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
