I take the Seoul Metropolitan Subway system to work everyday, compacted like sardines in a can. I was in no rush to get to work the other day and as I took my time through the system, I started to notice the signage around me. I found some interesting ones.

(My personal favorite) In case you find yourself in the possession of a shopping cart in the middle of the subway system, we won’t ask you how you managed to get it down the steps and through the turnstile, but you absolutely cannot take it with you on the moving walkway. | You probably won’t know what floor you are on since it doesn’t really matter underground and we don’t tell you, but the restrooms, should you find yourself in need of one, are located somewhere between B4 and B3. | |

Just follow the blue line into the wall to transfer to the Blue Line. | Make sure you fully decipher the meaning of these random signs before you get on the escalator. And btw, falling down the escalator is not permitted. | |

Please make sure your feet are in a good mood before attempting to negotiate these steps. | This is where you call to “S.ave O.ur S.ubway” | |

These seats are reserved for the people who did not listen and fell down the escalator, or have back issues, or (we understand it happens sometimes) just had too much kimchi and rice for dinner. | However these seat are reserved for those in wheelchairs, should they want to get out of their wheelchair and want to sit on these really comfy seats, or those who can magically balance a cane without any hands, or are hiding something under their dress, or are being attacked by tiny aliens. |
Wow, riding the subway in Seoul looks fascinating! I particularly like the happy feet signage. Think I’ll look more closely next time I take the subway or the metro.
Hahaha! I LOLed 🙂 The happy feet are my fav.
