Tales from the Metro

Like Sardines...
Interesting experience in the subway at rush hour... people crammed into a car to the point that no one could move, including me. I poked some guy in the head with my folder and he gave me a dirty look. Hey, give me a break I couldn't move my arms!

Child Abuse...
The subway is my favorite, I like to people watch and plenty of people watch me because I am obviously different than the rest. I had two little boys who would not leave me alone the other day. They kept saying "Hello, Hello" in Korean and I would say hello and then they would run away. Then they came up and starting hitting me playfully, they were so cute that I didn't care. Also I don't know what the protocol is on scolding other peoples' kids. So I let them hit me and I just laughed because Korean kids are just too cute to be mad at. (You all know me and my Asian babies)

Jesus Freak...
I also had a Korean girl ask my for the time. I told her "Ten minutes after four" and looked away. And again she asked me for the time, I showed her my watch and then she nodded. She then proceeded to attempt to speak English to me, but the only words that I could make out were "eyes" and "pretty". I assumed she was complimenting me and so I thanked her and she smiled. She then attempted to say something else and I made out the word "pig" because she lifted her nose with her finger... I don't know where she was going there.
She took out a picture of her brother who was in the military and I said "oh, I see. Military?" and she looked at me like I was the crazy one. By that time I had to get off the subway for my stop and she got off and started walking beside me singing "Jesus loves you..."
I was confused.
