So there I was on Sunday afternoon atthe Kyobo Tower bus stop waiting for the 5002 back home.

A couple of dudes stand beside me, and one leans over and says, "오전이번 타세요?" (Feel free to correct my spelling!) and I confidently reply, "네". At this point the man leaves his blind friend next to me and goes elsewhere.

At this point I noticed that the smaller guy had his eyes closed and had a labrador guide-dog. Well I thought, it's really nice to be able to help people in Korea.
I had never seen so many buses pass this stop, without the 5002 passing.

Obviously, my friend with the dog was getting a little worried that we were not getting on a bus. He mumbled some obscure Korean which I couldn't understand. I then told him in pigeon Korean, "Sorry, I speak only a little Korean. I am a foreigner."
He must have felt horrified to have been left by his friend with a foreigner.
He walks up the queue of people and finds somebody to answer him, and the 5002 just pulls up by this time. His new friend escorts him onto the bus.
I still chuckle.

Well if he reads this I am sure he will feel embarrassed about his xenophobic reaction to you trying to help him.

....more chance of his dog reading it.

The man didn't speak any English!

오천...that's 5000

Pretty good dude.

640x480, I believe 오전이번 is "Number 5002".

Perhaps it's time to upgrade your GPU.

640x680 is right.

오천이 is "5002", 번 is number.
