RE: Parking enforcement in Vietnam is a little different than other countries
Parking is a huge problem in South Korea. In fact everywhere you go there's no parking. Unless you're going to a major shopping mall or an area where a whole bunch of restaurants have gathered together on about five streets, you won't be able to find a parking lot. So, other than that, the only way to get to a business is to walk there. This is a very big inconvenience if you have a car in korea. I've gotten a ticket for dropping my kid off at kindergarten (30 seconds parking). Schools don't have parking lots here! So what do you do if you're late to school?! Can't drive or when your kid gets out of the car, he has to get out while the car is moving! So dangerous!! I've gotten a ticket for stopping my car off next to corner store to buy a bottle of water and when I came back 20 seconds later it took a picture of my car. Thing is...everyone parks there! That spot must make $5000 a day, i swear! Now these tickets are like $120 each. It's completely ridiculous! If I can avoid it, I just don't drive unless I know there's absolutely a parking lot. As for roundabouts, they have them here too. But not so chaotic i think as vietnam. But ive been in the ones in thailand. They give me a heart attack with all that horn honking. No point to honk. Like its going to make people go faster...
yeah parking is ridiculous in big cities all over the world. I know a few people in NYC, some of which are very very rich people and they don't own cars because the parking spot would cost more than an apartment does.
