Two Ads I Saw at Subway Station

wait...this is not the one I saw at the station, but I bumped into this ad on the subway. This tells about ..wow...this is interesting....each region's best produce. wow...I think I could refer to this ad..and this picture to know what the specialties of a specific region are. Hmm..but..it's so darn cute and small. Too small to read.^^ People would just shrug it off..and would not notice it. 

The second one is about a charity campaign to warm the hearts of the passers by or the commuters. A story of an orphan who had to live with his (supposedly) grandmother and had to sustain on his own life. A help would be a warm blessing for him. 

I wonder how he's doing now. Hope things got better for him and his grandma. 

* but..one thing that quite intrigued me was ...whether...the same ad with the same picture will be used (again) next year? or..was there any chance that this particular ad was already used in the past?

either way...that would be so....oh, well.

Just hope for the best for the boy.

An Ad on Subway that Caught My Attention

As usual, being a commuter on subway gives me (at times) an advantage of being able to notice some social changes that are happening right in front of me (Except ...when I am HOOKED into my smartphone!!!!!!!)--which is a terrible habit I got to admit:-)

As someone who loves taking picture, especially on stuffs that I found irresistibly interesting, I would snap out of it right away. LIKE THIS ONE.

wow, I never thought that there would be a public-service ad like this one.

대일항쟁기 강제동원 피해조사 지원위원회

A Supporting Committee for Victims of Forced Mobilization during the Struggle Against Japan

( I hope I translate it well).

Anyhow..what I'd like to point out was that...through this ad, I came to realize that there are some people (victims) of Japanese mobilized labors (I wonder if it is the same as that of romusha?労務者? in Indonesia) period in Korea...who are yet to be acknowledged and appropriately supported or touched upon by the government. 

'Tis Upside Down!

I thought I had something wrong with my eyes when I saw the TV. It's upside down. I couldn't make out what it was. Was it because I was a bit 'disoriented' after having some 'house chores' in the morning? 

Had it been my eyes that did the trick? 

The right-side TV indeed showed something strange. 

I couldn't read what it was saying..until I realized that indeed...it was downward. 

Hmm...it was a trivial thing to see...but, being a very very amateurish photographer who's always ready to take pictures as stuffs do happen, I felt like having this urge to take the moment to zap the ad with upside down footage.

This has been an exercise for my eyes...
