leave
I have never understood the "if you don't like it here then leave" thing. It's facile and without intellectual merit.If I have a residence in a country, if I'm working and paying rent and taxes, then I have the right to complain. No place is perfect, not even where I live! :-) And I complain about this place from time to time too. And because I own a house and land and am married and have a full time job I have the right to complain. Having said this, complaints have to be logical and about things you can't change. For example, I hate winter. I'm sure you know that. I lived in Canada and bitched and moaned about winter every year for the entire length of it. That was only until I could put my escape plan into effect. Living there till death would be stupid. But complaining about the high cost of gas, which is about $1.70 a liter here, is perfectly legit. Complaining about the laziness of locals when you need something done and the person in the bank who uses that particular stamp is having lunch is legit. But saying if you complain about Korea then leave is just weak.
Cranking the car to get it started. I actually owned one of these, a 1950 something Austin Cambridge Station Wagon, and had to crank it a number of times, when the starter motor was playing up.
