Big city. Daily routines


Taking umbrella and sunglasses, buying a sandwich in 7/11, waiting for green at the big road while eating, heading for the juice booth - strawberry, apple/carrot, orange... - rushing down the subway steps and avoiding rushing or verrrrry slow Koreans, putting the card on the ticket machine at the barrier - beep, 900 Won drawn off - standing on the escalators, NOT stopping in front of the big mirror as everyone else, handling the last steps, waiting for the train - still drinking juice, descrying a seat and taking it as fast as possible, continuing to drink, taking out the book and reading, riding for about fifteen minutes, announcement, stopping, departing... - getting off at Hangangjin, up the stairs, NOT stopping in front of the mirror, taking the escalator, buying one or to Kimbabs for the afternoon, throwing juice cup into the only available bin, passing the barrier, card on the ticket machine, stairs to get outside, waiting for the green us no. 14, getting on, nodding to the driver, validating the card, finding a seat or being shaked, passing the Norwegian embassy, then the Danish one, pushing the button after ten minutes for "Huam Yak Sun", validating card, getting off, walking under trees for about five minutes, crossing the street and...

... arriving Goetheinstitut. Working.

21.40. Walking slowly to the bus stop, waiting for the bus, getting on, nodding to the driver, hopefully finding a seat, getting off at subway station after ten minutes, validating card before that and saying good-bye to students, walking down the stairs, validating card and passing the barrier, going down the escalator, NOT stopping in front of the mirror, going down to the platform, taking seat on a bench, reading and waiting for the train, finding a seat, continuing to read, departure, announcement, stopping, departing..., getting off at Anam after fifteen minutes, validating card and passing the barrier, strolling up the stairs, all way up, going home, greeting the porter, taking shoes off and slippers on, unlocking my room, turning on the computer...

... and maybe having dinner with Lena later on, or a beer.

And this, every day... ;o)
