This was my encounter on the way home from church; we go to church off base, about a 5 minute drive. As I headed home on Sunday, the car in front of me stops, and begins to honk the horn. I can see that he's honking at a man just sitting in the middle of the road! This isn't normal people!! He's sitting there, legs crossed, talking about something, very loudly. Why is he there? Why don't his people tell him to get out of the street? What in the world is he talking about? Others (Koreans) just walk by him and pay him little attention. The man in front of me (an American) and I are just wondering if he's ever gonna move! As it turns out, he didn't. We barley had enough room to hug the side of the road (most roads are little as it is), and go around him. I stopped to take a picture, he wasn't phased by it a bit! Only in Korea, which people call "the land of the not quite right".Wednesday, October 22, 2008

That's so funny! Maybe he was protesting something....
We were walking behind you...it was very bizarre! We couldn't tell what was going on at first & then we had to walk by him--Abby had lots of questions that we couldn't answer! :)
Only in Korea Shara!!!!! Love you guys,
Susan & Paul
That's Korea for you...but hey you've seen something I haven't seen then and I've been here a lot longer than you, so don't you feel priveleged!!
