hybrid car VS regular car

           I have owned a car. But my car’s age is five. So my car has bad fuel efficiency. Also generating capacity is lower than the newest car.
These days, eco-friendly cars are being produced for reducing destruction of the ozone layer. That is hybrid car. Take Hyundai’s Sonata, for instance.
Sonata hybrid car is apparently similar to a regular car. Also hybrid car and regular car have similar generating capacity. Hybrid maximum capacity is 150 horsepower. And regular car maximum output is 165 horsepower.

           Contrary to regular car, hybrid cars price is very high. That price is similar to upper model. such as Grandeur, K7 and so on.
The price of regular car is from 20 million to 26 million won. On the other hand, Hybrid car is from 30 million to 34 million won. In contrast regular car, hybrid car use gasoline and electricity.
 The largest difference is a fuel-efficient. Hybrid system is cutting fuel consumption. So official fuel-efficient is 21km per 1 liter.  But regular car is 12km per 1 liter. Also hybrid car is more eco-friendly because using electricity.

           In my case, I like regular car better than hybrid. Compare the hybrid car, price is cheaper about 8 million won. Although it difference about fuel efficient maybe I will select regular car rather than hybrid car. The price difference is too large.

between Guryong village and Dogock-dong

How to compare between Guryong village and Dogock dong?

    In the late 1980s, The Seoul city was demolished slum. Pardonably, That people move into the Guryong village. Initially, 2500 people were inhabited. But now about 1240 people have inhabit Guryong village. My sister is living in Kepo-dong near Guryong village. When I first saw the Guryong village, I feel unfamiliar scenery. It different near Dogock-dong 

 The Guryong village is an unlicensed shack, So, Guryong village people have not resident registration. They occupied housing for over 20 years, Residents could not claim ownership. Because that place is Unauthorized area. And pay not residence tax.
As you can see the picture, Guryong village’s streets are very dirty and unsanitary.
 Also, more than 50 percentage of people’ income are less than 1 million won.


On the other hand, Dogock-dong is much better place to live for Seoul. The street of Dogock-dong is very clean, and transportation also is very convenient. Most people are very rich. An apartment price of square meter was 35million won. That price was very higher than other apartment of place. 
 Dogock-dong is near kang-nam station. So, If your company is in town, you could easily go to your company. Maybe you could save your morning time.
Most people of Dogock-dong have a lot of money. Most people have high profile position.   

So these are the reasons why I feel very strange between Guryong village and Dogock village.

I'm against it

As you could walk around Seoul, you can see that a lot of Street vendor are scattered all over a Seoul. The city of Seoul is our nation’s capital and Most of Foreigners want to visit Seoul. How do they think of street vendor?

First, Sometimes a street vendor was overcharged for foreigners. So Korea’s image was fall from street vendor. Also we can think about Seoul’s policy. What is Seoul’s policy?? Seoul’s slogan is Design Seoul. That mean is making more clear and convenience Seoul. But street vendors were especially one of the obstacles.

Secondly, Most of street vendor blocked the way and doing business. So pedestrians feel inconvenience. And they are exposed to an unexpected incident.  If that is the case, who do you take responsibility for this matter?

Third, how do you think about street vendors’ sanitary?? Maybe it was not sanitary.
Once again, you can think about selling food on street. Many cars go through street alongside street vendor. Sanitary?? No. They can never be managed sanitarily.
Also you can think about other product. Did you believe that product’s quality? How to get after service?? We can think about it.

Lastly, I hold it my duty to pay the tax. But they did not pay their taxes. They are not fair.

           Street vendors are danger, and unsanitary, not fair. Most of street vendors are illigal.  We think about this issue, how to deal with street vendor’s problem.
