German BIkes not allowed in South Korea!
hi bikers!
we have entered South Korea by ferry from Sarubino, RUS to Sokcho at 24th of May 2006 and are in a unlucky situation now.
Inspite of many Germans have entered Korea by bike and have been allowed to travel through the country we are now not allowed to ride our bikes!
It's because of an old law from 1949 where Germany is not listed in the list of states from which citiziens are allowed to drive bikes (of course, Germany exist since 1949...). the book where this silly law is listed is printed in 2005.We called to our embassy and they said that they know about it and even they have to make the Korean driving licence.
In former times the custom made mistakes, that's the reason because other Germans could ride here, we have been told by the unfriendly customer.
So take care and plan your route well!!
Greets from Sokcho,
Alex & Carsten
