| I can't decide whether this "I Love Songpa" sign is clever or stupid. It's got an English letter "I," then the Korean letters ㅅ and ㅍ, the hangeul versions of "s" and "p." This is an abbreviation for "Songpa," the name of the district I was passing through. The Korean letter ㅅ has been made to look like an upside-down heart, so it's doing double duty as both the heart meaning "love" and the "s" in "Songpa." That's actually kind of clever, but to achieve this effect, the heart has to be upside-down, which makes it look like a cute, cartoonish scrotum. And that's not so clever in my book. |

I finished the walk at Jeongja Station, per tradition, and headed straight to a restroom. On the cubicle door was this sign:
 |
| toilet tissue in the toilet! |
Great photos, I always enjoy being reminded of how nice Korea looks, even in winter.
ReplyDeleteThat cubicle sign could cause some confusion if you don't read the language. It looks like you are supposed to throw the whole roll of TP in the toilet...
