Last week's incidents in Korea


Metro in Korea
Korea has been buzzing with the news about some happenings in the metro. Somebody drank. Somebody had a bowel movement in the cart. This time a female drunk got naked and swore to people in the train. They did not directly do harm to people, though. But watch yourself when bumping into these kinds of people in your train. You'd better move to another cart. In 2003, 9 years ago from now, a guy who was socially discontented put a fire in the metro, leaving 192 people dead and 148 injured.


Be careful of Karaoke in Korea
Many Korean people love drinking and singing, so there are a lot of karaokes in the streets of Korea. But you'd better careful when trying a karaoke. Mostly, these places are cramped and are like a labyrinthine. So, in case of fire, you can hardly escape yourself. Days ago, a fire broke out in a karaoke in Busan, Korea, leaving three Sri Lankans and three Koreans dead on the spot. The death toll reported is 9, and 25 are reported injured. The number is expected to increase. Even Koreans have difficulty finding their way out in case of emergency. I bet, karaokes in Korea will be tougher to you.


Does your country allow euthanasia?
In Korea, 80-year-old man were arrested on a charge of helping his 70-year-old wife, who had been fighting against her lung cancer for 6 years, dead by cutting off his wife's respirator. "I could not see anymore my wife suffering that much. I hope she can stay without the respirator in heaven," the old man stated in cry to the police. Among Korean Internet users, there are more pro euthanasia than those against it as long as it is conducted under limited conditions.
