So my friend and I got to talking the other day about the size of South Korea in relation to our respective countries, I being from Canada, and her America. And according to some googling and some even quicker calculations, Canada is 100x larger than South Korean, while the province of Ontario is 10x larger. Hence why, in Korea, after riding a bus for four hours you could be in a completely different province, while in Canada you could still be stuck somewhere on the 401.

Halls: Candy or Cough Drop?
Now I don’t know about you, but where I’m from Halls™ is a medicinal candy taken to relieve common cold symptoms such as nasal congestion, sore throats, and coughs. But in Korea, for some reason, it has not been marketed this way; to them it is purely candy. No one will buy this when they are sick, though you will see them chewing on vitamin C tablets.
