From an email sent to a cow-orker by her husband, and forwarded to me
for comment.

=======

I thought I should find out something about Korea, so I looked up
various things including Korean rail information. I am still trying
to work this gem out.

"When using the train every, if discount of fare 5% and with separate
way the passenger ticket the fare which becomes the ticket shoes, 3% a
fee total misfortune and at score change (per 1 piece 1 won) it saves
up it gives with point (Only, 1st 2 reciprocation scope at once, per
one train it limits in 1 time and passenger ticket note issuing hour
certainly must present the railroad member card, to after note issuing
it is not saved up).

Any suggestions would be gratefully received (e.g. what are 'ticket
shoes'?).

The unintelligible text is, apparently, the result of machine
translation. The original Korean text can be found at
http://barota.com/pi/pi11011/w_pi11011.jsp (it's the text next to the
piggy bank graphic). If you run the Korean text through any of the
popular online translators on the web, you'll get the same garbled
English translation, or something very close.

I suggest using a travel agent!

Only if you want to go on a cruise! I visited Japan in 2001, and had
no help at all from any travel agent I contacted, though at least most
were honest enough to admit they couldn't (or wouldn't) help. The
problem is, most of the nifty travel deals in Japan are only available
from your home country via a travel agent-- things like the JR pass (2
weeks for $400 or so) as well as other nifty deals (like a one-way
flight from Sapporo to Tokyo for $100).

After about two weeks of solid complaining (at least once/day) the one
I ended up with finally managed to procure the JR pass, but couldn't
figure out how to get the ticket from Sapporo to Tokyo, and wasn't
very interested in trying anyhow. Which was too bad-- I wanted to
take the train up to Sapporo, and then fly back.

Can't help you, but it looks like yet another wonderful product of machine
translation.
