I know I still have 2 months left of being here but I thought I would share my strangest moment in Korea as I am sure nothing will trump it.
The evening started out normal enough. It was the beginning of August and I was heading into Seoul for the evening to hang out with some friends and watch a play. I got on the subway for the almost 2 hour trip in and sat back to enjoy my music and a book. About 20 minutes into the ride, an older man stumbled onto the train, reeking of beer and soju. Of course the only seat available was right next to me.
Although he sat down, he didn't lean back and stayed on the edge of the seat. I could see that he was doing something but I couldn't tell quite what. I look across from where I was sitting and I could see a look of horror on the man's face as he was watching the man sitting next to me slowly undress himself.
First, he unbuttoned and unzipped his pants. Then, he took his tie off and threw it over his knee. Finally, as he started with the buttons on his shirt, another commotion caused us to shift our attention elsewhere.
Another man just entered into the car of the subway holding his hand over his mouth. Right as he arrived in front of the drunk old man next to me he suddenly throws up all over the man's feet. Thankfully, from the way I was sitting none of it got on me.
This made the drunk old man stop undressing at least as he leaned back and closed his eyes as the other man just kept walking. I decided that it was time for me to get off this subway and catch the next one! I couldn't handle anymore excitement after all of that!
