Almost decapitated
Monday, February 2nd, 2009
I was at Gagnam station at the back of the line. Everyone was pooring into the subway. Just as it starts to fill up all the doors slide shut. Normally they don’t just shut the doors as people are trying to enter. The guy to the right gets sandwiched right down the middle but squeezes out pretty easily. The girl to the left wasn’t so lucky. The doors shut right on her neck, and her head was stuck inside the subway. She couldn’t get out, so a few people pulled the doors open. Pretty funny I must admit, but wouldn’t have been so funny if that train had moved about 5 feet. Guard rail would have taken her head off.

First off I needed food. My dollars wouldn’t work, but my Visa might! I walked a few blocks and found a bakery that sold some sandwiches. I gave the shop owner my credit card and my hungriest look. Success! I decided to push my luck. “Do you know where the subway is?” He didn’t speak english.
As I walked back into my neighborhood I stopped by a large building to see if could pick-up wireless internet on my iPhone. I wanted to check my email. The previous night I sent an email to a girl named Jyung Hee that I saw on MySpace. In the email I told her I just got to Korea and I know no one. Basically I told her I’m a lost little boy who needs a hot Korean girl to show him around. It worked, she said she would like to meet up with me that evening. (more…)
