Jess, Ness, & I try out "street mail" in GangnamWell, this is just one, rather superficial reason why I like Korea. Recently in Gangnam, a busy area of Seoul where I spend a lot of time generally, they installed these really tall pillars with interactive screens that do all kind of things. They have maps and all sorts of other features. You can take a picture, add a border, write something, and email it to yourself too. Plus, these pillars also give off wireless internet to the entire area. Sweeeeet! When I thought about why Korea has things like these in public places and the U.S. doesn't, I realized it's because sadly in the States somebody would take a baseball bat and vandalize it nearly immediately, whereas Korea doesn't have this kind of problem at all. There's all kinds of technological gadgets in public places like malls or on the streets and nobody damages them.



I love the street mail! What a cool area. I can see why you like hanging out there. So modern! And the wireless internet is definitely sweeeet!
