a dude in front of me on the escalator was too drunk to step off at the bottom. he fell in front of me, i had to jump over him and press the emergency stop.

a woman on the subway grabbed my hand and started pressing her fingernails into the creased of my knuckles, and then she would smack my hands.. she repeated this over the course of 5 or 6 sub stops. she would also occasionally point at my belly and speak korean as though i knew what she was saying.

watching a mosquito truck drive down a crowded beach during mudfest, spraying EVERYBODY, was pretty fucked up. it smelled like cancer.

at the abandoned amusement park in Geoje Island it was funny to see all the spray-painted dicks.
