taohun

been thinking about it since i read it

Had a nice run mostly without annoyances today, but there was one cursed 100 meter stretch that involved

1. getting cut off by an suv in the middle of the pedestrian crossing (yep those marks on the road are clearly just decoration. Or possibly indicators to speed up and bag a pedestrian or two...)

2. two taxi drivers smoking while loitering on the pavement right outside the cancer centre

3. one nattily dressed old guy whose style I was admiring when... he dropped a large grob of spit just as I passed him

All such things are very common street hazards here (the smoking and spitting tend to feature together because apparently, if you are Korean, smoking makes you spit). The only amusing part was that they all happened bam bam bam in that one stretch and nowhere else. There was also an appreciable lack of phone zombies out today. So nice.

Too late.
