[Got to talk to my little sister today. We are in the mix of planning a trip for her to come visit sometime around Christmas. Yes, I know that Christmas is forever away but it'll give me something to look forward to. Anyone who knows us can just imagine all of the shananigans we could get ourselves into. God help South Korea if this all pulls through!]
#58. There are gas station attendants at every gas station. They all wear matching outfits and run as quickly as humanly possible to the cars. Think Olympics. 100 yard dash. It's as if they are afraid the customer is going to change their mind if they don't run fast enough.
My first thought was that having attendants was old fashioned. Pumping gas isn't rocket science. People should be able to do it all by themselves. Without assistance. It's 2010 not 1910. In Korea that's just not how things are done. By not switching to self-serve pumps they create more jobs for the everyday man. Genius. Plus as an added bonus the driver of the car doesn't get the unpleasant gas smell all over his hands. And he can sit in the car and listen to his favorite song that just came on the radio as soon as he pulled into the station.
Sounds like a sweet deal to me. Yet another point to the Koreans.
that's fun, hope it works out for ang to come visit. i'd be happy to send connor and ben over for a few weeks if you get really lonely :)
