Weird Ajussi in the Subway

7 December 2010
Weird Ajussi in the Subway... or should I say hmm.. drunken..

Every Tuesday this semester, we have to go to Seoul National University to take one of our major subjects. Today is our last day. Finally, because it is too cold lately that we cannot bear the chilly weather especially our class is late night.. :( Anyhow, we had our last gathering with our professor. We ate 찜닭 (Jjim-dak), in my own words, it is Extreme Spicy Chicken Adobo! =)

찜닭 - Spicy Chicken Adobo-alike
After eating, we headed back home via subway. Well, there has been as always drunken Ajussis and Ajumas, more of Ajussis though everywhere especially at night. Today, we had a close encounter with one in the subway.

As the subway is jampacked - we are literally like sardines standing beside each other in the subway. I was talking to one of my fellow Filipino scholars when she told me that the Ajussi behind me might be talking about us... We paused and I listened to them. They were saying that we are not the same as them - meaning - we are foreigners. Later on, he said, we are very noisy but in fact his drunken voice is far louder than ours... Anyhow... he then approached us closer and started talking. I did not understand what he said because he is technically drunk and I do not know which language is he trying to speak.. But I realized he was speaking in Chinese but I still did not understand as he eats his words... He tried speaking English, Korean, Chinese and I do not know if there is anything else... but he is so creepy - with the red eyes, can't stand firmly, etc.

Why is it necessary for them to drink a lot?! *sigh*
and ... so what if we are not like them?!
