I'm really annoyed!
Why, why, why!? WHY do Korean websites suck so much! I think the Asiana Airlines website is the shittiest of all the websites in the world. I've been trying to check-in online and keep getting stuck at the same fucking screen where it shows a spinning clock just with a polite, "Please, wait a moment." I've been trying to check-in for the last couple hours on Firefox and on Chrome but it will not work.
I really don't understand this country's obsession with ActiveX. For all the innovation that Korea produces, it really sometimes sets itself back into the stone ages in some ways with some of its online policies and practices. The majority of websites require Internet Explorer for the site to behave properly. And if you're looking to access banking or government sites, then forget about it. I really don't understand why Internet Explorer is the standard here for transactions and online shopping (I've been told it's slowly changing). Engaging in these kind of activities on IE is like going to a hooker without a condom, that's how dangerous it is!
I hate Korean websites with all the fucking pop-ups, flash animations and the chaotic layout of a million different types of information screaming at you from the screen.
And what is it with the "batang" font that is used when displaying anything in English. They use the ugliest font ever created. I can't even do online banking because they require some sort of POS software to be installed on my computer before allowing me access due to "security reasons". In the month and a half that I've been here, I've been told that things are the way they are because of "security reasons".
I'm really pissed off and annoyed.
