Things To Do On The Subway ...


I am spending a lot of time in the subway these days. So I thought I would make a list of "Things to do while I'm on the Subway." Here it is - in no particular order ...

1. Write an entry in my blog. 
2. Check Facebook. ^^
3. Practice my Korean. 
4. Memorise Scripture. 
5. Read a book. 
6. Write a bit more of my book - that would be a better story than JK Rowlings  - she write Harry Potter in a cafe. Imagine the novelty of writing a novel on a train over many many kilometers of track, while listening to announcements in a foriegn language. 
7. Send messages to my friends. 
8. Take suruptitious photos of interesting looking people to write blog entries about. 
9. Talk to random foreigners ... Always an interesting experience. Last week it was a slightly drunk English man. He's been in Korea for 10 years. Teaching in a university. 
10. Read articles towards my thesis. 
11. Write my thesis - so I can work in a university too. 
12. Surf the internet for interesting things ...
13. Think of more productive things to do on the subway ... 


PS I did not take the photo at the top but it's typical of a subway carriage. Except often there are more people standing. But not as many as you see in those photos where people are stuffing other people I to trains.

  1. This picture must be old. Where are all of the phones and headsets and sleeping passengers with their heads nodding to and fro? ;) It's a good list. I especially like number 6.^^

  2. It is :-) I wasn't brave enough to stand up and take a photo of a carriage full of people doing exactly what you said... ^^
