In Korea the roads are confusing, most roads dont have street signs. Its nice because I just show my address to the taxi driver and he takes me right there. James told me that the police dont set up speed traps like in the United States. Instead, they have speed cameras that clock you and take a picture of your license plates. As a result, in Korea everyone speeds wildly because the navigator has the location of the camera in them and alerts the driver to the location. Its not uncommon for me to be in a cab going 150kmh (95mph). When the navigator alerts the driver to a camera they slam on their brakes, go through the camera, and then speed right back up.
