Seoul’s Subway
The subway in Seoul is said to be the best in the world. Based on my limited experience, I can’t argue with that.
One of the best things about it is the glass wall between the riders and the tracks. Like the shuttle trains in airports. This not only provides rider safety, but it also allows the platforms to be air-conditioned. I love that! Here’s Andrew waiting for a train.

The cars are also air-conditioned and both station and cars are generally clean.
Like Americans, Korean riders pass the time with naps and electronics. Lots of electronics!
And finally, there is this. A common sight everywhere we went. Ajummas wearing huge visors. Ajumma technically means “aunt,” but it’s used to refer to women who are 55+. This group delights in the preferential treatment given them due to their age. Well, more accurately, they demand preferential treatment.
