When you live abroad, you might find some things shocking, that may seem normal to the normal populace. For example in Korea, especially in Seoul, it is very common on Saturday and Sunday mornings for the streets to be completely covered in vomit. Seriously, more puke than not in some of the hot spots. The Koreans call the splatters Kimchijeon, due to their resemblance to the kimchi pancakes of the same name.
Tonight, however, I saw something amazing. When some friends and I got off the train, there was a man in front of us in a nice suit, who was walking straight and with confidence. As he was walking, without skipping a beat, every few paces turned his head, as if to cough, and vomited pure alcohol, all the way up the stairs, through the turnstiles, and up the stairs to the street. I have no idea how he did it, but he was spotless after doing so. Puke everywhere, but he was immaculate.
Seriously, who does this?
I cannot stress enough how casually, as if it was his second nature to puke on the street, he did this. Everyone else pretended to not notice, except for us who decided that it was amazing and hilarious at the same time. We followed him up to the street, where he seem to realize that we were following him. He did not seem pleased. Perhaps we should have been more discrete.
