1. I lived in Seoul for a few months.

Oh boy. No one gives way. It is just not part of driving culture there. You learn to be an aggressive and selfish driver or you won't survive.
Not myself ,but what my friends told me. If you allow people to cross the road as other cars will drive straight through (endangering the pedestrian).
Their social transportation is wonderful. Driving? Not a safe place to put yourself in...
