More "little things"

I forgot to update this topic for a long time. It is the kind of thing that you think of a lot of good ideas for, but they slip your mind when you are in front of your computer. So here are some more of the details of lesser significance but nonetheless cool aspects of being in Korea.

Full service food delivery. Everyone likes a hot delicious meal right at your door. Korea goes one step farther. When you order delivery they bring a basket with solid dishes, metal cutlery, and depending on the meal your ordered, a mini gas cooker to keep your stew simmering as you chow down. For $20 you literally get a family size feast and $60 of hardware delivered to your door. Then they make the return trip to take back there equipment and take care of the washing up.

Drinking in the streets. Besides Vegas and Mardi Gras, where in America can you just walk the open streets with an unshielded container of alcohol? This society is surprisingly libertarian in a lot of ways, although drugs outside of alcohol and tobacco are very harshly controlled. Another example is that in some provinces red traffic lights are treated as stop signs at night.

I'll try to do a better job, and add a few more of these in the not too distant future.
