I will be realistic here. I am running out of topics to write about. Still, I am surprised that I have been able to fill 20 days worth of interesting writings without skipping, and I have decided to add some video, which might make the entries livelier.
Anyway, Korea has a lot of cars, and traffic jams in Seoul are typical, especially in economically busy districts. At night, Kang-nam, which is located below the Han River, gets busy with traffic jams, because at that location there are tens of thousands of high school students returning homes from prep-schools, which is called Hak-won in Korean, all at the same time.
As you can see, many prep-schools provide transportation for the students, and I noticed that one bus travelled next to our car for 40 minutes until we parted our own ways in Bundang, which is a bit far from Kang-nam. These prep-schools have a lot of these giant buses, and they are the source for clogging up traffic at around 10 PM in Kang-nam.
