Korean insanity -- Parking

okay, although the above picture does not fully represent the insanity of the parking here in Seoul, allow me to explain. People double and triple park as part of the normal parking procedures. How do the cars behind them get out? (ie: all those ones on the upper right) WELL... guess what? They have to physically roll the other cars out of the way. That's right.

When you're parking your car, you leave it in neutral, and look around on the ground to find stray bricks (they are everywhere), to prevent your car from rolling away. THEN, you are also required to leave your name, address, and phone number on your dashboard (they actually sell cutesy little suction cup things with Hello Kitty , etc for this express purpose), so if there are any problems with moving your car, they can call you and you have to come back and move it. As Rhys said, if you were in Canada and you found a bunch of stray bricks on the ground near a parking lot, you'd be like "fuck, someone is going to smash those through a car's window", here? No way. oh, and by the way, allow me to have all of my personal info posted in a public place at the same time... man these people are crazy.
