Repatriate Me!

One of the things I am not going to miss when I leave Korea is the driving. When I bought my HD camcorder last year I made a plan to make a video of the psycho nut cases behind the wheel here. However a little search on YouTube found several results including a series of seven videos by one guy that really showcase how bloody stupid drivers are in this country. Every single thing you see in these videos happens regularly. I swear that i cannot drive more than 5 minutes without seeing serious traffic violations of safety problems. For example when I drive my kids to school, a 5 minute drive, I can pretty much guarantee to see 2-3 people run a red light and 1-2 people driving in the oncoming lane so they get get around the line up at the red light and turn right.

I get so angry driving in this country and end up swearing too much when driving. My wife is always getting angry at me for swearing at drivers. I’ve now managed to keep the swearing to a minimum, but my 4 year old starts yelling out “Loser” whenever he hears a horn honking. He also makes an “L” with his thumb and index finger over his forehead (welcome to the 80s courtesy of Dad).

Enjoy.
