Q: Which English
A: Green one, left drawer

You have no idea! They really used colors to seperate the book series used for learning English at different types of school.
At my school the series were called "Green Line" (used before I entered school) then "Password Green" (that's the one I had) and now again "Green Line". (Not to be confused with "Green Line".)
The series had a counterpart for another school type called "Red Line", "Password Red" etc. Wikipedia tells me that there's even a series called "Orange Line" and that before the first "[Color] Line" there's "[Color] Line New". (Yes, these book series even have their own Wikipedia articles!)

So taking the green English totally makes sense now, doesn't it?

Following the light of the sun (with written Korean log)
Some kind of airship or a small airplane might work, provided that it can circle the Earth every 24 hours. Or watch outdoors webcams from around the planet through the internet. Or stay North resp. South of the polar circles when they have summer there. Or forget about eternal sunshine and mind your Korean studies.
