thats the least of my worries - I WISH - I was allowed to open the window just a couple of inches on the bus - whilst it is either raining or - has finished raining - just to let some fresh air in...

apparently when it rains here - all windows must be shut and sealed (even after it has finished raining) one must sit on a packed bus - in summer heat and the stench of Koreans BO - just because YOU CANNOT open the window if it has rained or is still drizzling...

Or when going thru a tunnel. Mystifying....

I kind of enjoy the rush. When I'm waiting for the door to open, I make eye contact with everyone waiting to get in, and as soon as the door opens, I blast my way out. I'm bigger than most Koreans, so they usually topple over like dominoes. I accidentally elbowed an old lady in the head pretty hard once--felt bad, turned to apologize but that lady had an iron skull and just continued fighting her way onto the subway.

Ugh I hate getting on a bus with windows shut and no air conditioner running. I have no problem handling the heat or humidity in Korea, but once I get on a bus I am drenched in sweat.

Depending on my mood I can enjoy the rush at times...
If I see people standing there as the doors are about to open I'll stand dead centre, square my shoulders, lock my elbows, and get my 245 pounds o' body ready for some K-Bowling
