Korean Taxis and Trains

I usually just walk everywhere I need to go, but if I'm in a hurry or need to get to the train station or something, I take a taxi. It's actually easier than you'd think, and it's very cheap (it usually only costs about $2). I have a slip of paper with my address on it, so I somehow always manage to make it home.

Here's a video about Korean taxis, starring my British friend, Steve. You can visit his blog here.





Another video, this one just a compilation of things I thought were funny/interesting.





Next, we have a short video we shot on the train. The first part is pretty normal, but watch how crowded it gets at night! Crazy!





And now, some random pics I've taken so far....

My whole world, packed neatly into these suitcases



My first day in Korea. So exhausted



Cute


Somewhere in that maze of Korean symbols is the name of my school...



Dumpling soup. It cost about $3



You get unlimited free sides with every meal! Most of them are vegetables, but they're pretty decent.




Korean Post-Its


I just thought this was funny



A Texan in Korea



Yes, it is simply called "The Mall"




Random street



Korean Barbecue





PIZZA!! It tastes ok, just a little bland. They haven't gotten the sauce quite right yet.




Random guy promoting something




How safe is Korea? Well, we found this stack of beer just sitting outside an elevator. No one was around, so anyone could've walked up and grabbed some free beers...like a couple of foreigners...



Korean escalators - I don't know if they have these anywhere else, but they make a lot of sense!




Quiznos in Korea?! Yes. It tastes the same, too.



My favorite...



I found this in Itaewon, a city with a lot of Americans and foreign goods. All I've been able to find is either Coke Zero or Coke Light. I was ecstatic!




That's all for now! Annyong! :-)
