Cheers to Stupidity

Happy Early Saturday morning folks...Welcome to the crazy country of Korea. I do hate it here and here is a case why... Its work of buffoons thinking that they are doing the public an instrumental work of good grace.

I was walking down the streets at a cross-walk where people rarely yield me the go ahead even when I have the green light and where traffic is going in all directions even though its a one way with barely enough space for 1 car let alone 5.

As I said its Saturday and people are doing construction work. They are dismantling an abandoned building in hopes of building something new. They were in the process of tearing down electrical equipment but instead of convention means they had a hose in case another fire occurred. Yesterday a big fire happened in haeundae and half the apartment complex is now ruined due to a mishap in the kitchen.

Anyways, there were no flags, the workers had tunnel vision taking their rigs where ever it pleased them with no regard to pedestrians, the hospital which is right across the street or the other oncoming traffic.

I am angry because I nearly got hit by these lazy workers and feel like I have to put my life on the line whenever I go outside. My wife being a Korean is used to this and therefore always wants to be home by 10 because its too dangerous. I didn't grow up fearing the streets or construction sites...I was told Safety was always first, not the die hard need for cold hard cash which from experience doesn't make you happy.


Thank you for listening theres the mornings bitch fest. If you miss the last post please go review the previous ones. Once again don't take this complaint as the end all be all.... I am illustrating how I felt today in this particular setting its not a racist comment.... God forbid I voice my feelings at least to myself.
