Difference Between Carbondale and Korea
There are many different things between Carbondale and Korea. The biggest thing is the way of driving when drivers meet pedestrians or other cars. Actually, all roads in Korea have light. If the roads in Korea do not have light, many accidents would happen because all roads in cities of Korea are very crowded. On the other hand, small roads in Carbondale do not have light, but just stop signs. But, there are hardly accidents. Furthermore, driving habits in Carbondale are very different from those in Korea. I was surprised when I came to Carbondale for the first time because the drivers concede the road to pedestrians first, although the road does not have a light. In addition, they are likely to concede the crossroad to other drivers. Korean drivers tend to want to go faster than pedestrians when they meet pedestrians on the crossroad. Moreover, walkers also think the driver should go first on the road. It was because they are accustomed to just following the light. Although Carbondale is a very small city, I like Carbondale because of the peaceful atmosphere like this.
