So last night I was in an underground shopping mall in Jongno looking for a bathroom. I thought I had found one until I approached the sign and noticed it was a little bit different than what I was expecting. Could Korea, one of the most conservative countries in the world, actually have co-ed bathrooms? The woman on the sign has even done her hair up for the occasion! No, of course not, closer inspection revealed that the sign was showing the way to a small clothes store. They’re messin’ with my symbols and forcing my brain to accept new information! Ah…nothing like traveling to other countries to give one’s brain an occasional jolt.
