별내 Byeollae City: Just right behind where I live!!

I was riding the number 202 blue-bus that usually takes me to Freya's kindergarten. But, today..since I had a free time of not having to do anything in the morning, I managed to take the bus right until its last destination: the Byeollae city. I never heard of this seemingly newly-constructed outskirt city..but finally I did. 
New apartments sprung up over the newly built lanes..and what's more...I love the fact that a mountain stood right behind the city as its backdrop.
Oh..one more thing..today..the weather was relatively bearable with the blue sky up above. 
It would not have been a fruitful journey had I not tried to dare myself to get off anywhere in a not-that-familiar neighborhood. But..I did anyway.
The buildings looked new and they were relatively of the same height. 
Not many buildings were visible since it is new. But, I could be wrong, though.  
These three little boxes turned out to be .....garbage box. But, they are automated ones. I didn't have a chance to see how they worked, though. But, just as any other garbage management in Korea, they are distinctively different from the rest: one for food left-over, one for the recycle, and one for the ordinary litters.
Apparently, we got to use the special card that only the dwellers of this city know.
I wish I did. 
The food left-over garbage box. 
I barely spent about 30-minute or so in the area before catching the same bus again..going back home. Oh..there is a Buddhist monastery right on the slope of the mountain. The picture did not any justice to the real excitement I found. 
But, for those interested in it, it's called 불암사 (Buramsa) or Buram Temple. 
*what a Friday* a well-spent morning.

Trapped in a Taxi Involved in an Accident!!:-D)


I was in a hurry after a meeting with a professor at Sungkyunkwan University at Daehangno. As soon as my meeting with her got wrapped up, I rushed myself to the street during rush hour of people coming from work. Luckily I found an empty taxi parked and then...I opened the door and off we went to my next destination: KDI School where I would attend International Food Festival!! yiippeyyy......
and I promised my friends that I would be there at 4 and the great news was that..it was already 4.30...well......

It was only three minutes or so inside the taxi when something bumped into the back of the taxi I was in. Another car smashed into the taxi!!!
Oh nooooo.....
yes...the traffic was well.....evening rush hour at Daehangno.
the taxi driver --as expected--got mad and got out of the car and confronted the man who hit his taxi.
and..then..I was like..."OH NO. This is not happening"
Should I just leave the taxi? 
Should I just leave and get another cab?
SHould I take the subway? It's way too late.
...I asked the driver....and he said.."Just stay for a minute. You're not in a hurry, aren't you?"
and those words were like..."WHAAT?"
"well, of course I am in a huryy" face that I was putting on seemed DID NOT budge him.
oh..well..I got to wait..and wait...and wait...
and ....as patient as I could be..
I could not help but taking the picture of when it all was folding up right in front of my eyes.
LOOONG STORY SHORT==> the driver settled with the man who hit his taxi, and...I was then ushered to my next meeting venue: KDI>
thank you , Ajeossi...for making such memorable evening.
