5 hours as the only foreigner on a coach jam-packed with Korean adolescents on summer break.


AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laughing

(It didn't actually happen, I just saw coachloads of them and contemplated the scenario.)


Actually there is an even greater form of hanguk torture:

Catching the wrong train twice at 5.30 am while drunk, after a night of no sleep, then waking at 9am still on the subway, 22 stops and 3 changes from home no less.

Falling asleep on the ktx from busan to daegu and ending up in seoul. Only happened once, and it really sucked.

Why, oh why did you even have to create that image...?

There are some thoughts and ideas that should just not ever be spoken....

To make it worse...while they are enduring the above, they are tied next to a bundaegi cart. Sight/sound and smell torture. It'll ruin a man's mind I tell you!

Actually I endured 4 hours of a "comedy" show on TV on a coach from Gunsan to seoul, stuck in traffic.
Really the most unfunny and inane show I've witnessed thus far.
But I suppose 2 years public service in a mom'n'pop kindy hogwon watched by cameras might beat it.
