we cheered him up when he passed us by (we were sitting on one of
those street bar tables). believe or not, i heard that they are not
covered by the insurance for the occupational injury/death. how could
this be true?
6500 liters -> 9-16 minutes, depending on the thickness of the hose used.
fire acts fast.
we passed this alley to find a good place to have our 3rd round of
drinking and talking, and i thought something smelled funny.
3 minutes later - fire trucks started to arrive at the scene and
firefighters running into the street we just passed.
“it sucks”, a friend having chocolate phone said.
this phone boasts the touchpad style external keypads (the key
navigation / soft keys). and obviously they are the source of all
problems.
- errors due to the total lack of feedback what is pressed
- no ‘end’ button in call, identical volume control key & ‘end’ key on
each sides, which also causes frequent errors
style victim? or simply arrogance?
definitely not qualified as good design.
60+, learning the choreography from the experts.
a football game scheduled at 2am local time.
got dropped off at around midnight in the middle of the city from the airport.
the city center’s brightly lit with loud cheers (but there’s very few
residential households around the city hall).
tried to catch a cab for a very short ride to my sister’s.
rejection after rejections.
theories:
1) taxi drivers believe that normal human beings should be able to
walk such a short distance, regardless how much luggage the person has
2) taxi drivers are too poor to take their chance on a short ride at
night (who knows what could happen on that route, when you’re making
peanuts on it)
3) taxi drivers at the time in that area were so dedicated to the
football fans that taking on non-fan passengers would be considered an
insult to the community
3) taxi drivers’ IIP rely on the number of long distance trips they
manage to get per day
i hate this country’s taxi system. its so damn cheap obviously
compared to other areas of consumption here. i didnt even have the
luck to bump into one of those so-called ‘delux’ cabs.
had to call my sister to pick me up, after all - at around 1am.
Transparent display is in the middle of the house, showing the resident and her pet. They’re affected by knocking on the door (or shaking the house). Its an alternative form of tamagochi, but somewhat overdone.
my imagination seems to be the limit when it comes to the variety of
merchandise you can find on streets of seoul.
walking along jong-no (big road in seoul), i realized most of the food
stalls had the same name, “kim-dduk-sun”. thought it was incredibly
stupid - but somoeone told me later that it’s actually the name of a
dish these street stalls commonly serve. i need to catch up on the
street culture..
