| Teaching in Korea: Mass Transit One of the first thing I did when I made the decision to come to Korea to teach was sell my beloved Toyota 4Runner. now I will be the first to admit, that I loved that thing. I took it everywhere and in seven years managed to put on over 150000 miles and never had any trouble with it. So ditching my very mode of transportation and coming to Korea scared me a little, since I wasn't sure I'd be able to get around as easily as I did back in Arizona. The truth of the matter is, I love not having a car and don't miss it one bit. Sure there are times when I'd like to have a car or motorbike when I go shopping (especially in the show or rain), but that is a rare occasion. Here in the Seoul metro area, I can get anywhere I need to be with the use of one of, if not, the best mass transit system in the world. Since I live in the Seoul area that's what this post will focus on. That being said, the rail and inter-city bus system can get you anywhere you need to go around the country. Furthermore, most cities have some sort of transportation system as well. Now let's get back to Seoul... I was recently on the phone with an old professor friend of mine and he shared with me he was in Washington, DC and loved being able to get around on their metro system. He asked me if there was anything like that here in Seoul, and I honestly laughed. The Seoul metro system is massive. Larger than anything I was prepared for when I first got here. As you can see, the system is sprawling and connects X;b>...X;/b> |
