So, I went for an innocent walk around Gwangalli Beach with some friends earlier today to look at the thousands of beautifully bloomed cherry blossom trees in the area. Jesi and I were walking along, minding our own business, talking about the weekend and whatnot when we realized that Jessica and Lisa had fallen a block or two behind us as they had stopped to take a bunch of pictures with cherry blossoms. So, we decided to wait in a nearby playground for our friends to catch up. While waiting, I got to looking at this apartment complex parking lot. Cars were parked neatly in their designated spots along both sides as expected, but then there were a few cars parked in a single-file line in the middle of the lot, directly behind many of the cars parked on either side. Just as I was pointing this out to Jesi and wondering how some of the cars could possibly be maneuvered around the others, a middle-age Korean man began pushing one of the cars in the middle row several feet forward to allow enough room for him to back out of his spot. We suddenly realized that all drivers who park in the single-file line in the middle of the lot, leave their cars in neutral so other drivers can politely move their cars out of the way when needed. Two things instantly came to mind. 1.) Wow, Korea is overcrowded! 2.) It's like a giant game of tetris in real life! Some things are just plain weird. This was/is one of those things.
