Craigs list & fire/police

So apparently craigslist is a big deal here in Korea so we thought we would give it a whirl.  Turns out tons of people come and go from the Seoul area, most are turning out to be students and teachers.  We have recently acquired an iPod speaker doc, shelf unit and a love seat.  The nice part is everything is in great shape and all the electronics are 220v with two prong Korean plugs, which I'm telling you are hard to find at times.

So during my most recent journey to Incheon to pick up the love seat and shelf I noticed that the fire trucks, and many police cars, drive around with their overhead lights on all the time.  Not sure if it means they are going on a call, since they stop for lights and no one moves out of the way, or that is just how they do it when they drive around.  But one of the fire trucks caught my attention.  It seems that the saying, "What do cops and firefighters have in common... they all want to be firefighters" isn't always true.  Apparently this fire crew wants to be dog handlers.  K9 cops rock!!!

The Korean letters translated are nine trillion.  119 is the emergency number here like 911 in the states
