Comments:
Simon | Actually they can. Korean can apply drivers license. First they will enter a driving school and past the training. Then they can apply for the drivers license. | 2008-07-17  |

 Jean | Why isn't possible to have a driver's license if you don't drive? Because someone told me that it is okay to have a driver's license even though you don't know how to drive> |

Female was her identity to her students, she works in evening shift. Unfortunately, the male student was drunk.
T: Hello good evening Paul.

She heard male voices on the background.

S: What's the color of your underwear?
She was shock by the question, and feel offended.
T: Paul, that's a rude question. I'm your teacher and you are my student, you should respect me! I don't like that question, I'm a sensitive person! Anyways the color is PINK!
