#11 - Being Quiet On The Subway

"Something something something sa mi da", sez the old Korean man.

"What?" Me.

"YOU! Volume down, you"

"Damn..." I thought.

Have you ever been shushed on a subway? I have, many times, and 100% of those have been in Korea.

Over the course of a calendar year, Korean people have ample opportunities for conversation, so, when the time comes to get on the subway, it's quiet time. It's a time of quiet reflection, a time to play with your cell phone and a time to stare down the foreigner.
