Korea has some great food

This is one fact that you surely know. There's spiciness that is just nice - ie. in the bulgogi. Compared to Japanese food, Korean food is far superior in taste. I'd surely be enjoying korean food and even the simple one that is found in the GS25 convenience stores. What is it? It is very affordable (yes, that too a positive sign in Korea, prices of food is very affordable) at 1500 Won you get some super tasty kimbap and sometimes with a free drink.

1500 Won for this delicious tuna kimbap - from C-U

So I truly envy the life in Korea. And perhaps a better word, you should be proud of it too. Considering Korea once was totally devastated after the War, and some South East Asian nation were even far ahead in GDP and all those economic and social measurements. Now, proudly South Korea is ranked the 8th largest exporter, and the GDP and standard of living (of most people) are on par with that first world nation neighbour Japan.

The sad fact, my country Malaysia still in total political politicking, and using religious problems and racial lines to put people in places, economic policies that funnel the citizens into purchasing vehicles they shouldn't be buying (if like Korea, putting the country's money into very well made public transport).

The political policy was to make the illusion of owning a car, means you're wealthy. But it is not. Everybody seems to own one. Everybody seems to be stuck in 2 + 2 hours = 4 hours of traffic jam minimum (in the cities). Everybody cannot find a parking space (lack of planning). Everybody is stuck paying highway tolls that are snaking everywhere haphazardly. Except myself. I just own a motorbike.

So back to your country - the public transport is superb. Who else would need a car? Bus, subway, even taxi, all super affordable. Super clean. Super efficient. Super safe. There's gas mask and oxygen masks, convenience vending machines, ample of seats, clearly marked signboard and I can see some people even seem having a picnic inside the subway station - just taking it easy, having a seat, bought a 300 Won coffee, and having a happy conversation with their friends.

Seriously or not, we can swap places.
