 |
|
All the time walking to and from my buisiness in this mystical land, I see people of all ages running past me as if they were wearing flip flops, with their head down, hands in pocket for aropund 100 meters... stop and then run another 100 meters in the same fashion! 
Whats all that about?
It was raining the other day and one said teenage boy was running in this fashion with his umbrella up while the hood of his duffle coat was done up over his head! 
What a little berk! |

I was supposed to go down to Changwon to work but A certain company I came to work for couldn't get their Sh*t straightened out and I ended up walking away from them. I really wanted to see Changwon. Maybe some other time.
What's it like? |

Excessive preening in front of the mirror causes the sidewalk rush-rush...that and...being wound tighter than a drum right out of the box. |

They probably don't want any acid rain dripping from the buildings, signs and trees onto their heads |
