Another Tale from the Metro

Distracted by the Umbrella Jedis...
On the second day of my Korean Film class the instructor brought the class on a field trip to the Korean Film Museum. This involved taking a group of 25 students: 20 of which are foreigners, on the subway and then a bus ride.

On our first attempt to get on the subway, half of the students didn't make it onto the train because they were all trying to go through one entrance. Also, everyone got distracted as they were attempting to get onto the train because two old men who were also getting onto the train began to yell at each other and then proceeded to hit each other with their umbrellas. The were like little old Korean jedi warriors. It was awesome.

Meanwhile about 8 students were left behind at the subway stop. I got onto the subway because I learned quickly that you must be aggressive when you are getting onto the train otherwise you will miss your very small window of opportunity. As the doors to the train closed there were a group of foreign students who had the most panicked look on their faces like they were going to be lost forever. I know that I shouldn't have laughed but I laughed out loud. I am an ass, I know.

No worries, everything turned out okay. There was one Korean student who also got left behind and she helped them to find their way.
