Where does this bus go?

These are the typical Bus signs in Korea... believe it or not, I can actually read and understand these signs!

The night I took this picture, I had to read this sign to figure out which bus to take home. I took bus 103, because I read that it stops in 괴 정 시 장(which means: Goejeong market), which is near my apartment! Who's impressed?! Anyone, anyone?!!

What are you guys doing?

Last friday, after lunch, I was walking up the staircase at my school and saw some of the 5th grade girls climbing all over each other. It was one of the strangest and funniest lunchtime activities I think I'd seen, to date. Stella told me it's a popular Korean game... The girls put their heads between another girl's legs, and then someone jumps on their backs! If I didn't have pictures to go with this, you'd think I was describing an adult film!!

I have no idea what the purpose is of this game, but if I have to lean over and put my head between someone elses legs and then have everyone fall on top of me to play it , I don't think I'm interested!!!

The Honor System!

I was shopping with Jess at this store in Gukje market and noticed this hanging basket and asked what it was for. The girl in this picture worked there and spoke perfect english. Her response was, "It's for people to put their money in when they want to buy something. It's kind of like an honor system."
How ridiculous is that?!!! I love how trustworthy Koreans are! It's incredibly refreshing!

Charge it to my subway card please!

Yesterday, I was waiting for the subway, and noticed a korean girl buying a drink with her subway card at this machine!  

I couldn't believe it!  I had to try it for myself!  Sure enough, I just held my subway key charm up to this little box, chose my drink, and wala, 1 diet coke fell! 

I love the level of technology and resourcefulness in this country!

Go Barbie Go!!!

Believe it or not... this was NOT the first time I'd spotted one of these scooter/jet ski deals in Korea! ....Although, this was definitely the first pink one!
