Driving in Jeju is the worst! | Episode #5

Ahead of recording this episode, a horrific traffic accident occurred, resulting in at least three deaths. Dozens more were injured. 

Hosts Darryl and Alexis had already planned the episode around driving and the island, but their thoughts and sympathies go out to those affected by this tragedy.

Driving is a big problem on the island, and Darryl believes it comes down to poor city planning and a lack of rule enforcement.

In the year of 2019, there were between 300-400 car crashes a month, resulting in a handful of deaths and hundreds of injuries.

Deer have also recently become a problem for cars as their numbers deplete and their habitat shrinks. 

The pair also discuss a quick update on the Landing International Casino heist before diving into Jeju Dialect Corner where they learn even more words and expressions to use at the Five-Day Market.

Last week, President Moon Jae-in visited the island to speak to bereaved family members and victims of the Jeju Massacre, a visit that Darryl and Alexis becomes a yearly tradition, no matter who is president.
