Green Car : How to use Car sharing in Korea





 Do you know car sharing services? Maybe you should have heard it once. In general, car sharing means starting from the recognition that it is wasteful for purchasing a car. So a local or group to own a car to use a simple purpose vehicle, and then sharing it on a time scale basis.
 However, in Korea, it started as a new car rental business by companies, and it is developed mainly in metropolitan and central cities. It is characterized by the fact that there is almost no car sharing zone in rural areas. So it was not easy to see car sharing cars in the area where I grew up. However, because I came to Seoul, I have a lot of chance to meet car sharing zones, and usually I can rent a car and use it.
 Let's take a quick look at how to use it! In Korea, 'Socar' and 'Green Car' are typical services, but today I will explain 'Green Car' as an example.



 First, sign up for membership in the Green car homepage or application. At this time, you must be 21 years of age or older to become a member and one year after you get your driver's license. If you want to know how to get a car license, look Seoul story #3-1. How to get a driver's license in Korea. After you register your driver's license and credit card at the time of sign-up, it is good to borrow the car immediately when you need it.



 Next, determine the time in the application wants to borrow the car. When you set the time, it tells you in real time what car is standing in the nearest Green car Zone. You can choose a variety of vehicles from light cars to SUV. You can pick the time and the car you need and complete your reservation. For your reference, there is an option to change the location where you return your car.

 When you make a reservation, the payment will be made automatically. Payment is made 15 minutes before the time you rent the car. The payment is made with the credit card you have already registered. Now you can go to the designated Green Car Zone and drive.


 How do you get in the car? There is a car key in your smartphone. The Green car application has a smart key function, so you do not need a car key. Just go to the car you want and press the smartphone button to open the door and lock it. Is not it really convenient?
 I often rent a car at the Green car. It can be borrowed only as long as necessary, and is convenient and inexpensive. I also use a Green car more than 'Socar' often. There are more cars in the Green car! I also recommend you to use Green car!

It is a type of egg that is sold in convenience store of Korea GS25, and the boiled egg itself is characterized by the salt liver. So it is easy to eat without salt.

Namsan Tower : Sightseeing places in Seoul

Image
 Namsan Tower is one of the famous landmarks of Seoul with the Han River. The height of the tower itself is 236.7m, which is low compared to other landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Tokyo Tower.    It was completed on July 30, 1975. At first, there was no observation deck, but after that, a sightseeing observation deck was constructed and the present tower was completed. In the early days, it was not open to the public because of security problems, but on October 15, 1980, the observatory was opened. And it was reopened in 2005. From this time, the name will be changed to N Seoul Tower. I do not feel old because all the facilities have been modernized and the interiors have been careful while undergoing remodeling.    The tower is made up of seven floors and is quite large, and the top of the T7 floor is an observation tower with a slowly rotating floor. Namsan, where Namsan Tower is located, also has the remains of the Choson ...
