Trains, cabs, and whatnot


Took the train for the first time tonight! So, maybe it doesn't seem like the greatest accomplishment, but try buying train tokens from a touch screen computer in Korean and figuring out how said tokens work. Just try it. :) The trains rule. They are fast, quiet, and ultra clean. There were no pauses, no stopping because someone had hurled themselves onto the tracks (are you listening Chicago?), no delays of any kind. And it was cheap, cheap, cheap. We're talking $1 for one way.

We went to this bar called The Holy Grill, which is owned by a couple of Canadians. Had some drinks, listened to some Kings of Leon, and watched some rugby. Good stuff.

Since the trains stop running quite early, we had to take a cab home. It was $9 for a 30 minute cab ride. Again, are you listening Chicago? $9 for 30 minutes. Amazing.

But we like to hurl ourselves on to tracks. It's just as American as baseball.
