I swear, this comic looked better in my head than it ended up looking on paper. Either way, I hope everyone kind of understands what I’m getting at.
For the most part, the having stairs EVERYWHERE thing is a good thing. I’m sure it’s one of the many reasons why Korean people in general tend to be healthier than people like me from the states. It just kind of gets to me when it’s incredibly hot outside, and I just want to sit down and nap. As shown in the comic, it’s also a little difficult to deal with when you have to use the bathroom asap.
You can only imagine how cranky I get when I get out of the wrong exit at a subway station in the middle of summer. This issue is also one of the many reasons why I caved in and purchased one of those water purifiers. I just don’t have the proper amount of strength to drag one of those six packs of 2L bottles of water up three flights of stairs.
Maybe I’m the only lazy one out there…
Weird question, but how many other foreigners out there who live in villas live on the third floor?
Random edit. Someone pointed out that I was a jerk for not making the Korean signs super obvious for non-Korean speakers. For that, I apologize. Here are some translations!
출구 = Exit
임대 = Rent
우정 빌라 = Friendship Villa (it’s a play on some of the funny names for villas out here)
지하철 = Subway
화장실 = Restroom
5층 = 5th Floor (the bathroom’s on the 5th floor)
Sorry for any confusion!
