Weekend in Pictures

My bike keeps being used by everyone and their brother, which, living at a high school, is a lot of people. I have bought a new lock for my bike. It had me at the spelling of "locker."

A trilingual sign inside the male dorm room at the youth hostel in Seoul. Yet it does not make sense in Korea either.... Please understand that this is the only door~

I met a friend who owns a coffee shop in Seoul. I brought her some fruit as a gift. She felt compelled to give me a gift in return. I got a stick of cheese cake~ ^^ And no, that is not a mistake. It is a stick of cheese cake, not a slice.

Advertisement for a movie where the pictures/painting come alive! The girl is saying "Mom, the pictures are alive!" Notice the "yeah" (peace) signs several of the paintings are flashing.

I still don't understand this. I've seen these posters a lot. It seems to be promoting the newest half of the subway lines in Seoul. Not the old lines. Not all of the lines. Just the new ones. Why?

And remember folks, in certain taxis you can pay with your credit card or metro card. I've never tried but then again I am usually too cheap to ride in one unless I have to.

The one, the only, "The Beer." It is hard to understand the usage of "a" and "the" when they don't exist in Korean.

Sign for a public bathroom on the side of a telephone pole. However, despite the sign, there is no bathroom in that area. I would not suggest using the power pole as the bathroom either; this isn't China folks. Instead, please be respectful and use the brick wall in the alley where no one can see you. That would be the polite thing to do.

Medical store a few blocks from where I used to live. Can you spot the item that doesn't belong with the others? Let's see, back braces, prosthetic limbs, cigarettes. Nope, not sure.

Posters and signs for World Agape. When I read a sign I can usually understand part of it. maybe I can understand the product or what they are saying. But with this sign I understood every word and grammatical device. The literal translation says "If you don't maybe it won't happen."

With the recommendation of a friend I stopped by Ewha University, where it looks like I will be taking a language course in summer. They have had construction near their south gate for some time. I was surprised to discover not a tall building but an underground complex. I took the side with the slope as I really didn't want to go down, gosh, how many flights of stairs is that? Either nine or ten.
