Today marks the official three month anniversary of our arrival in Seoul. Living here for three months has taught us enough survival Korean to get along just great. When we do have troubles there's usually a picture to help us out. However, these notices went up in our elevator last week and we are at a complete loss as to what in goodness sake they are trying to tell us. I will attempt to translate as my time here does render me slightly more qualified than y'all.
This one is warning us of business men who may be bringing guns onto the elevator. We currently do not have metal detectors so we also believe this is also letting us know we should expect their installation soon. Remember to wave happily to any children you see bowing to middle aged school teachers. Lastly, plug your ears immediately in case the glass ceiling on the elevator gets too low for middle aged business women to hold up (glass ceiling to be installed soon as well).
Next set of instructions. Sing in Korean. Wait for a stewardess to talk and show you to the elevator. Then another reminder to bow to your teachers. Ah heck, stay in school too, kids.
Seriously, Nowon-Gu Sanggye 6 Dong Apt. 204, we have no idea what the scrappin' crap you want us to do. Obviously clip art in Korea can be just as grossly misused as it is in North America.
