Seoul Oddities

When you cram 12 million people into a city, freaks will be around and that's why I love Seoul. Saejin called me the other night in total shock because a man was shaving on the platform at Kangnam Station. A morning shave is out of place but understandable. Five o'clock shadows aren't that common so it makes you wonder what this man was up to.

Was he running from the law and had to go clean shaven because the heat was onto him? Or did this choice come about purely by impulse when a smooth skinned stranger with an armful of hot babes passed by? Perhaps it was a bout of boredom on a long commute? It was a full moon out so was this man simply in the beginning stages of warewolfdom? Whatever it was it made Saejin laugh so he had to share it with me.
