kyndo had you not included me in that little disclaimer there i would've made and absolute mess of things
Not me. Too many passive aggressive condescending comments to someone asking something like "How early should you get to the train/bus station to make sure you get a seat?" with something like "Oh? You buy your tickets in person? How odd, most people who have been here for at least a few months would use the Naver app. I didn't know you could even buy them in person. Haven't met anyone in years who's done that. Um..." He did that a lot. Obviously the actual intent was to let us know how he went about doing certain tasks. You can be helpful or you can be condescending. He chose to be condescending in those circumstances. Those were dark days on this board when based cowboy and romelettes roamed the board. Lots of cringe moments.
You're not wrong. On page 2 of this topic I mentioned that Korean addresses are ridiculous, then he insists that they're fine and just tries to gaslight me about the fact that I saw taxi driver after taxi driver refusing to put addresses into their gps because they only respond to landmarks or intersections. And Korean addresses are useless when building 5 on the block is in between building 500 and building 32. I thought I read something about the government reforming the address system but I don't know if it came to anything.
It did. But people don't use it so much. I'm fortunate to have always lived near a station or intersection or by Gayang E-Mart-uh, except in Mok-dong, when the instruction was "Mok-dong gu-danji/ship-dan-ji", between complex 9 and 10. Incidentally, aren't most English street numbers accorded by the order in which they were built on the street?
We're looking to get a new one some time soon.Would love to get one of those washer drier combos, but I hear that the set up can be difficult, and that not all apartments can handle the power draw that they require...
