VROOM vroom vroom ...........these guys with small red caps really take me to the world of MOTOCROSS MADNESS

JAMES BOND OF KOREA

Well in korea there is only one class of people which can break the traffic rules, these are delivery boys and that is why they are called JAMES BOND of KOREA. Their small two-wheelers are so much loaded with goods that even donkeys will beg for mercy. And after that their speed can easily give schumi (Micheal Schumacher) a thought on these guys' threat to his carrer.
There bikes are specially designed to get the goods fitted.And to save the drivers from having a snow bite driving in such dipping temperatures these bikes are fitted permanently with gargantuan gloves on the handles (Todays temperature -9 degree celcius).

So about these guys the most peculiar thing is they are typical "DILLIWALAS" where you have to watch for them and take utmost care to not to be within their reach.
Traffic rules...HA...HA...HA what a joke they are all ..."COLOR BLIND", it seems.
Moreover I being very much familiar with " Dilli Wala Mentality"think that these guys must be thinking that "if everyone else is thinking why should "I" ? KOREAN GAME THEORY GUYS "

A DEVELOPED CAR OF A DEVELOPED COUNTRY

Cars are less expensive, more sturdy and laced with all modern machinery available in the market. GPS is a must out here as there is such a labyrinthine of roads that even a local korean can get lost(well a "bit" exaggerated but only "BIT").

NEWSPAPER
Newspaper mostly contains news about measures and ways to adopt as to how to ease tensions between north and south korea. In India we see such news only when 26/11 happens, and that too turns out to be a political melodrama. no concrete results.
The crux of the point which I want to make is even if they fail these guys keep trying, trying to make peace with neighbours, thinking about ways as to what aids can be given, as what measures can make the northern counterpart back on track.

Let me illustrate this "NEVER SAY DIE"attitude by a very interesting thing which I noticed out here.
POLLUTION CONTROL....A REALITY
To control pollution and to manage parking and traffic these guys have devised a fantabulous way. They have made a rule that you can not park your vehicle on the day of the week with which your car number ends and + or -5 days after it.
IMAGINE JUST LEAVING YOUR CAR FOR TWO DAYS IN A WEEK What benefit it can offer
1) Pollution control
2) Parking Control
3) Health control as those two days you have to come walking or by cycle.

so not just talks like the COPENHAGEN SUMMIT but some actions need to be taken.

These guys have taken utmost care in building their city. And keep in mind guys, this is that country which is still on war officially and had seen tough times till 60's.
All roads are 8 lane. All buildings are so well planned and they are designed with utmost finickiness. Each and every minute details are taken care of, to illustrate :

1) The lights on the floor of a building are opened only when someone steps on the floor(example of Technology saving Resources)

2) Sirens are installed on the outside of a underground parking so that pedestrians get warning of incoming cars

3) CARS (Except JAMES BOND's) are told to respect PEDESTRIANS.

4) Free fitness instruments installed in the parks living perfectly upto the adage "Sit mens sana in corpore sano "

5)Despite of being a earthquake prone area this country houses some of the highest skyscrapers and not only the skyscrapers all the buildings are compulsorily made earthquake proof.


and the list goes on .....

There are many things that could be learnt from here......
