Walking in Korea

 This is a real conversation I had with Renata and for some reason I don’t want to forget it. I don’t think any further explanation is required.

Me: I have a question about Korea for you.
R: Okay.
Me: You know how in the States we drive on the right, pass on the left and even walk on the right and pass on the left? Like if two people are about to walk into each other both go to the right and it’s okay? And on escalators if you wanna walk, you walk around people on the left? And if you turn a corner you can turn it tightly if it’s a right turn but if it’s a left turn, you take it a little wider?
R: Actually, I’ve never thought about any of that in either country.
Me: Well here they do all of that except the corner one. They take left turns tightly around corners and crash into you if you’re walking around a corner.
R: I’ve just noticed that they crash into each other regardless. You can be walking on a straightaway and they crash into you. (*I die laughing.*) It’s true…those ajummas take you outta the game.
