Summoning paper for a training
: This is a document you will never see. It's only issued to men after military service. In Korea all men have to serve military about 2 years. But after the 2 year service, it's not the end. We have to do military training(reserve force training) for a short period 5 times to 3 times a year for more 5 or 6 years. And also this is not the end. After the training, we get a training again two or three times a year in the name of Minbanwi(civil defense) until we get 40 years old.
If you are born a Korean man in a ordinary family(not rich), you get sucks... You don't have any choice but to serve if you are not sick or have some problem.... Some guys even give up Korean nationality to avoid the service....

Receipt and Certificate for Locker
: This is what you see frequently when you travel in Korea by Subway. There is locker facility at almost every subway station. You can put your luggage there. It's not that big to contain the big size travel bag but can contain your backpack and other small things together. Of course there are bigger sized compartments. You'd better to keep the paper because it has the number of the locker and the time...
