Something About Construction

When I first came to Dajeon the place was one big construction area. The city was building it's first subway line and it seemed to be taking forever. It wouldn't had been so bad had the traffic not been snarled because of the construction. Spending over an hour in a cramped bus in 40 degree heat is not my idea of fun. Well, three years after I first arrived in Korea the line is finally complete. Well, most of it. The city opened the first 12 lines last Thursday with the remaining 10 to be opened next Summer. Even still, the stations that are open makes transit much more comfortable. The 900 Won (CD$1.07) fare is much cheaper than the CD$2.50 I would pay for a ride on the Toronto Rocket. Here is a map of line 1. You can also read an article about the opening here.
