Subway Tragic Comedy
Sunday, May 6th, 2007
For my second adventure around Seoul, I decided to visit the Olympic park somewhere in the western part of south of Central Seoul just across the Han river. I have to change subway lines to get there. The next target site is two subway stops away - to Seoul Sports Center, where the main Olympic stadium is located. But instead of catching a ride to the Center, I decided to have a leisurely walk towards Lotte World (or so I thought) located close to the next station where two subway lines intersect, one of which should take me to my second destination.
I went down the subway to find my line, but couldn’t! I realized much later that my walk leisurely heads me west instead of east; so what I thought of as the station one stop away from my destination is actually two stops further more from my target! After much deliberation, I finally found my subway line, and congratulated myself for finding it. But the confusion does not end yet; the bus was moving in the direction opposite to where I was supposed to be heading!!!

Seoul and the rest of South Korea is dynamic! It’s like an ant colony. Take a road trip from the northernmost near DMZ to the southern part in Busan or the Jiri mountains and you will see endless ongoing constructions. Fascinating!

Maganda ba sa Seoul? Cos it’s a dream for me to go there. Back in college, me and my friends were planning to go… 2004, 2005… palagi lang namu-move ng year pero wala pa rin. Half na nga ng 2007 diba.
