Dirty roads

Every time you go somewhere around Korea expect to find disgusting roads. People spit everywhere, sometimes drunkenly pee in the streets or have their kids squat over grates (I've seen it, promise I'm not making this stuff up) and just generally do disgusting things.

This doesn't include the trash. They have people who's job it is to ride around in the morning and toss business cards onto the side of the roads. In popular areas people hand out fliers and immediately drop them on the ground. Sometimes you'll see someone come around with a broom and one of those big dust pans to clean it up. I don't know if they're paid to do this or just hate how gross things are, but that's the way it is.

When you're walking around and you need to throw something out you either have to carry it until you get to the subway/ home or hold onto it until you find a trash pile and just drop it in top.

Today I was walking home and there was this huge puddle of blood (knowing this road someone probably got hit) and how did they take care of it? Someone literally dropped a towel over the worst of it and walked away. Yummy. So the towel sat there and got run over by cars and I wonder how long it will take to get cleaned up...if at all.

Come to think of it...there's a shop there that I don't think has been closed since I've been here. I hope it wasn't that poor old woman that owns it.
