OK, I'll bite.
Is there a spoiler tag in the forums here? I'll just post:

"Clean alleys are our pride. You may receive up to a 100 man won fine for littering. (Reward for person who reports (litter).) Reporting place and phone is listed at the bottom.
성북구청장 is the district or area office.
What is 동동주? Some kind of wine I imagine.

Wow, perfect translation :D

And you did it sooo quickly. AMAZING, Steve.



동동주(dongdongju) is a kind of 막걸리(maggeolli). Do you know 막걸리?

Haha. But actually I've never seen anyone paying the fine for this. :D

But law is law - it would really be a unique part time job indeed. :D
