- Comment on In languages which use complex written characters (such as Chinese's logographs), is there an equivalent to English's "text speak" shorthand? 4 weeks ago:
There are different input methods. I use phoenetic one so I only have to type 3 letters and select the character.
There is also "quick" input method which you only need to pay attention to 2 parts of the character when you type, then it gives you a selection of the most likely characters.

Yes. For example in Chinese underground metro is 地下鐵路 roughly “ground under metal road”.
The shorthand is 地鐵, roughly “ground metal”. And everyone understands that as the metro.

- Comment on Why do fancy cars look fancy and cheap cars don't? Can't you just slap a Lamborghini-style chassis onto a lawnmower engine if you want? 1 month ago:
Some Chinese EVs copy the style of fancy cars. For example the Xiaomi EV practically ripped off a Porsche.
Original, high quality designs require high development costs. Also a good design should consider the functionality as well, such as aerodynamics specific to the power and handling of the vehicle. Weight distribution etc.

2h layover is plenty of time. When you get off the flight at Munchen, ask the flight attendants for the gate number. As long as you go to the correct gate with the boarding pass, there is very little that can go wrong.
Read the rules on what you are allowed/prohibited to carry with you.

Stay calm and read the signs. There are signs everywhere in most airports. Even in South Korea I believe they should have signs in English.
You can also ask for help from airline/airport staff, tell them your situation and they should be very willing to help. Also, visit the airport websites and see the maps, directions in advance.
Make sure your phone has roaming enabled so you can call for help. Use ChatGPT or Google Translate when needed.
I fly quite a lot (but only to South Korea once a long time ago). Please let me know if you have specific questions and I will try to answer.
