1)   Could you live in van? For a short time? For a long time? What do you think the benefits and drawbacks would be?

2)   Do you trust people who live in their vehicles?

3)   Is this a common situation in Korea/Japan?

4)   Should cities allow vans to park for free in certain areas of the city?

5)   Housing prices are getting very high in many parts of Canada. Do you think the government should get involved?

6)   Do you consider yourself and adventurous or cautious person?

7)   What is something adventurous that you dream of doing? Remember, ‘dream’ mean you might never do that thing.

8)   What changes are happening in Korean/Japanese culture?

Bonus: Did you see the 'Doobie Brothers' album in one of the vans. Here's a bit of the music from that band. Listen and get in the van-living mood!
