The Gauntlet.

One of the "little things" that is different here in Korea is the traffic etiquette. A red light is simply a suggestion. You notice very quickly walking the streets that people here don't walk on the right, ladies are never first and any real Korean will play chicken to the point of bumping into you. However the auto traffic takes the cake. I am not talking about turning right on red here, this is full blown red light debauchery. As the area I live in is an example of major urban-planning the traffic flows very freely. Eight-lane streets connect neighborhoods which is great for the cars and bloody terrifying for the average pedestrian such as myself.


Look both ways or face certain death. No matter what the little green man says.

Lies.
