getting a korean driver's license from scratch.

i passed my driver's license test!


after talking about it for months ... actually almost a year, i finally have my drivers license. the process felt painfully ... what's the word ... complicated? it's not actually complicated but it feels really annoying.... maybe it's because there are so many people, long lines, going up and down the stairs to register for something and doing more up and down the stairs actions to actually do what you registered for done.


to get a korean driver's license from scratch, you basically have to do 4 things.
1. watch a driver's education video
2. take the theory test (on a computer)
3. take a "functions" test (this tests you on turning on the engine, changing gears, using headlights, blinkers etc.)
4. actual road test


they say it's going to get harder to get your license starting december 22, 2016 so i don't know if this post will be helpful from that point on.... but i still want to share my experience in case it is helpful.
