I hate it when I don’t understand the introductory bit at the beginning of the audio!!!
Tuesday at 9:30 pm
i always jaywalk
Tuesday at 11:00 pm
I have to agree with Shan here…last I heard, JapanesePod101 was including transcripts of the gag bits in the PDFs, so people of all levels could be in on the joke. Could you do something like that?
Tuesday at 11:50 pm
In my country EVERYBODY jaywalk!
Which one is used more often 빨간 불 or 빨간 신호등?
Wednesday at 12:48 am
rigo - in NewYork, pedestrians have the right of way. The cars yield to jaywalkers! Of course with some honks
Shan & Bouks - Sorry for that
thing is, we only have a few intro gags that we rotate if the lesson isn’t too long. The way jpod does it is that they have a new intro gag for each and every lesson. And as much as I would like to do a new one for each lesson and include it in the PDF, we’re kind of short on staff and I don’t think it is prudent, or wise to include it in the PDF for the time being. Especially since we only have about 10 intro gags that we rotate.
But here’s a quick translation:
“I lost my trustworthy-ness since I was 2.
But everyone listening to this now, is cool.”
Jacqueline - I think 빨간 불 is used more often. It’s more colloquial than 빨간 신호등.

They have intro gags for every lesson at JPod? Wow, things really developed over there since I stopped listening. I was a member when they were free, and for a time when they started subscriptions. I am still listed there…but not as Bouks. If I go back there, you won’t find me unless I give you a hint
Keith, you poor thing, we demand things of you all the time. (Maybe that’s because I got 공주병 from my daughter!) Don’t worry about the intro gags… 귄찮아요

In Boston, everyone jaywalks. In San Francisco, very few. Although (제 생각에는) drivers are worse in Boston, it’s more dangerous to jaywalk in San Francisco; drivers are not expecting you to be crossing against the light. Never saw anyone get a ticket for jaywalking, though.
In Germany, very few jaywalk. An old lady in Berlin gave me an evil look once for crossing against the light. I was setting ein schlechtes Beispiel (bad example) for the children.
If you get a ticket in Korea, do you have to pay an immediate fine? I guess people generally carry ID in Korea? What if you get stopped by the 경찰관 and don’t have ID on you?

I’ve never been stopped by a 경찰관 although I’ve jaywalked quite often, but my impression is that they are more strict about cars than people, so they don’t really care unless it’s on a 8-lane road (8차선 도로) or some place very dangerous like that.
But when you don’t have an ID on you and they stop you, what they do is just ask you for your ID number, and they call their center on the phone and check the number to see if it matches the name you give them
Kinda weak, but that’s what they usually do.
Has anybody had any experience with the police in Korea?
Wednesday at 10:50 am
in singapore, no one jaywalks alot cuz we will get fined for that. hahahaha.
but of course there are people who jaywalk.
back in secondary school we’d get detention if we are caught jaywalking. it’s quite silly when you’re late for school and you’re late because you had to wait for the traffic light. it’s a lose-lose thing cuz either ways it’s detention!

I many times in korea jaywalk, but in America (Texas) I don’t jaywalk at all. In Texas there are a lot more cops to be seen than in Korea. I didn’t see police men a lot in Korea. Also, I could tell that they were very relaxed more than in Texas. In America, the cops are many times rude and forceful, so we have to obey them. This is just a stereotype, so it isn’t always true. Overall, I always felt safe in Korea, sometimes more than America
Wednesday at 3:21 pm
theresa - how much is a fine? I’ve never been fined for jaywalking in any country!
찰스 - Yea, the policemen in Korea are pretty laid back. For the most part, Korea is pretty safe, so I guess they don’t have much to do. hehe.

The District of Columbia has upwards of 20 different police forces, with different missions and jurisdictions, and private security guards working just about every public and private building, haha. As for jaywalking, about a quarter of the people in the city at any given moment are clueless tourists, so who knows how they’ll behave, but the commuters and residents generally follow the rules during the day. After hours, it can become kind of a pedestrian melee as the avenues downtown become relatively deserted and serious business gives way to frivolity in the rest of the city.

I think the English name is “By the Book” It’s about this really uptight cop who takes his job very seriously….It’s sort of like Hot Fuzz.

keith - i’m not very sure but it’s probably a few hundred dollars. haha.

In Norway everybody jaywaks. I know it’s not allowed, but I don’t actually think there’s any fine for it.
But all in all, a fruitful few minutes. I learnt the meaning of two Korean words I’ve heard and a new word in English, jaywalking.

I got ticketed for jaywalking in Washington, DC (Georgetown) once…I had just arrived there to go to college. Coincidentally, my hometown street address was on “Pennsylvania Avenue”, so when the officer asked me for my address and I started to say it, he thought I meant the DC Pennsylvania Avenue! So the ticket was mailed to somewhere around the National Theatre, and I never had to pay it
(I think it was around $30 at the time.)
Austin, thank you for the movie suggestion! I will look for that.
Friday at 1:33 am
Austin,
I’ve seen the trailer of that movie and it seems to be a hilarious movie!!
I want to watch that ㅋㅋ

There’s a road right before my house and the two nearest crosswalks are equally 60 meters away, so I always get to debate which direction I should go … or if I should just do 무단횡단(jaywalking).
Thursday at 2:37 pm
They passed a bylaw in my town to let everyone jaywalk on the main street, since it’s a one way street and crammed with shops, and most of the parking available is only on one side. Most of the time it’s not so bad, but sometimes people don’t even bother to look if cars are coming, and sometimes the drivers don’t look to see if people are crossing, and there’s usually some honking, followed by either dirty looks, glares or panic depending on who scared whom, lol.
