About 15 years ago I was working in South Korea; a small town called Jinju. I think I was the only Western European in the province, the number of stares I received whilst walking around were to me, rather surprising. Anyway, I digress. I managed to bother the distributor into getting me a bicycle to ride the 5km each way to work. Each day I was hassled, passed, then repassed by nutcases with their helmets pushed up to and over forehead level, texting, usually with a cigarette in the mouth and a female on the pillion. It was great... To me what I saw was incredible. But what they saw was more incredible. A westerner on a bike in the middle of summer. 슈퍼 쿨 It means Super Cool. I've also been pee'd off by scooters in NL, Mainly in the suburban areas of Rotterdam, the wee bastards pay no attention when you're trying to reverse out of a driveway.
