A pretty typical trip to the local supermarket I just had.

First, open my door to find a half dozen adverts stuck on the other side of it.

Then, deciding to take the stairs down for good exercise, have to endure cigarette smoke all the way down and encounter three smokers; one on the 15th floor, another on the 13th and the last on the 4th. (I live on the 20th.)

Make it to the front door, give it the shoulder to open, and what you know the guard aujulshi has changed once again the door that he keeps locked and the one he leaves unlocked. (And his method is always to criss-cross them, making sure to cause the most inconvenience when people are coming in and going out at the same time. Ah, what the idle mind can think of.)

Make it to the food garbage bags can only to find it overflowing. Set my bag on top of the pile, only to hear the parking lot guard yelling to me not to leave it there but to wait till tomorrow to bring it down. Yeah, right . . I'm going to take it all the way back up to my apartment ! Pretend I don't hear him and continue on my way.

Make it one block when a Korean evangelist comes running up from behind me and ask "Do you believe in Jesus Christ as your savior?" Decide to have some fun. Remembering Guru's description of the Ferengi's religion of money (Star Trek character race), tell him "No, I believe in money. I want to go to money heaven." He, looking confused says "Money heaven?" I pick up my pace and leave him behind to figure it out.

Make it a few more blocks and have to get around a crowd blocking the sidewalk. They're swamping some promotion truck that's giving out a worthless plastic toy of some sort. You'd think he was tossing out bread to starving refugees.

Make it to the corner just across from the supermarket. Walk light comes on. Group of people from both sides start crossing. A white Sonata flies at high speed between the two converging groups, blowing his horn.

Make it to the market . . . . and the rest of the trip is pretty much uneventful, save the drunken aujushi I had to share the elevator up with. Ah, the aroma of kimchi, cigarettes, and soju breath in 2 x 2 (meter) closed box (elevator).

And back to my little world.

Ah, life in the big city.

Sounds alright. You should've given the Sonata a kick though.

Should have got wrecked with the ajosshi.

Hmm...or not.

Haha.. funny story. Sounds like a few regular days rolled into one.

Well to clear up one minor mystery up the reason they are opposite doors which are locked is to stop the wind blowing through.

The reason he might reverse it every now and then though.. that is more difficult to fathom. Maybe he's worried about wearing one set of doors out before the others..

I might be moving to the big city in March and I hope I have such exciting adventures if I do. (Oh and bang lots more chicks if 'the Pimp is watching.)
