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.
