Ok friends, tell me truthfully: am I just sheltered?? Yesterday I got to see a car parking lot elevator/assembly line thingy for the first time. I was amazed! Does Canada have these things??
You drive your car onto the belt, like so:
Then you leave, a garage door shuts, and you push your license plate number into the panel:
Then the garage door shuts, and away your car goes. When you come back, you push your number in again, and the assembly line rotates. You can look through the little window and see cars slowly going by, and coming down from above (there are 2 levels)! Wow!! Then when your car arrives, the garage door opens and you back out. The room is very small, so you back out onto this circle...get out, push another button, and the circle rotates so your car is now facing the exit and you can drive away!! I'm astonished. LOL

That's awesome. Although we don't have near enough crowding to merit the system in Canada, we should definitely do it anyway.

I am still looking for chinese food in little boxes back here in Canada...do you see them all the time in Korea? Can you send over a doggy bag from the Ritz??!!
R U serious? I've never heard of such a thing in my life. Wow- I guess you learn something new everyday! I'm applying for a passport incase I decide to travel to South Korea-- decisions decisions.
Seany,
Ya, it's a good idea. But it takes a lot of electricity. So I'm just not sure which is more valuable...the space or the energy?? I think we should just do away w/ cars completely and get ourselves a kick ass public transportation system.
Anony,
Take-out here is not quite the same as home...but it's way cheaper to eat out in restaurants (except, perhaps the Ritz...lol), so us foreigners tend to frequent them quite often!
Pam,
Good idea on the passport! Good luck with your decision!!
