    Getting TO/AROUND: Seoul has some of the worst traffic on earth, so I recommend against taking surface transportation to get around town. Maybe if you're going somewhere between the hours of 10 pm an 5 am, a cab or car might be worthwhile, but in general the metro is the best way to get around town. Though, Seoul ios a big city, so it can even take an hour by subway to go from Seoul Station to the Jamsil Sports Complex, for example.
    But that time is nothing compared to how bad it can be on the roads. There are times when a 12 mile (20 km) journey has taken me two hours. Rush hour starts early and continues (seemingly) throughout the day. The picture associated with this tip is taken at 5:30 a.m., and the road is already clogged.

     "cissors can be used as a utensil in Asia"--I think using scissors as a utensil is not widely practiced in Asia. But I also started since I saw my Korean friend slice different veggies and meat with it. How convenient!    		Pixiekatten Mon Jan 1, 2007 18:47 UTC
