In: Ajuma| Coex Mall| Daily Life in Seoul, South Korea| Korean Culture
18 May 2009Yet, another attraction at COEX Mall in Seoul. I was walking back to the subway when I noticed this lady screaming past me on her scooter…. a few minutes later, she came whizzing back but this time I noticed a sweeper in front of her scooter along with other cleaning supplies and gear in the back. I really admire the fact that she is able to work with the aid of technology and Korean ingenuity.
Video of the cleaning lady at COEX. Notice the admirable shot she made tossing the bottle into the garbage can without getting out of the scooter (behold, the power of the ajuma). I actually had to run despite a few laughs from strangers to videotape her in action. After noticing she was being taped at the end of her run, she politely greeted me and smiled. What a sweet lady! This has to be one of my favorite moments in Korea thus far.
Kimchi Soup is a blog journal managed by a Korean-American-Jewish adoptee (this is not a joke). Its sole purpose is to document the adventures of the author's return to Korea and to update his family and friends.
The author of this blog journal was adopted form Korea at the age of 6. He was adopted and raised by a Jewish-American family (not a joke). The purpose of his extended return trip to Korea is to learn more about his birth-family history, learn the Korean language, and immerse himself in daily Korean life to fully experience true Korean culture.
