Etymology Corner:
The word "license" comes from Latin "licentia," meaning "permission." But in Hanoi right now, getting that permission requires some serious patience! 📚
🎯 The Great License Rush
Picture this: It's 12 PM in Hanoi, the sun is high, and hundreds of people are queuing outside 16 Cao Ba Quat Street. No, it's not for the latest iPhone - it's for something even more precious in 2025: a new driver's license!
