New South Korean President

Yesterday marks South Korea's presidential election date. The voting centers opened early at 6 am and closed at 6 pm. I happen to see one voting center nearby the University while I was on my way home. It's no way similar to election day back home where people are constantly at lost finding their numbers or precints to vote. Here they have a very good system which makes voting a breeze. They also use state-of-the-art technology to count votes accurately and fast. I really have to mention that as early as 9 pm last night (3 HOURS AFTER THE ELECTION CLOSED) they already proclaimed the winner. Yes, IT'S THAT FAST!!! As everyone expected Lee Myung Bak won; he's a former mayor of Seoul.
