Busted

The other day my friends Carol-Ann and Vanessa came to Mokpo in a car they rented and we had a great saturday together which included a nice run along the sea wall, (even nicer that it was +30!), went for Vietnamese food, then some ice cream, some norae-bonging, some pool and then home. It was great.

Sunday included strong coffee with breakfast and watching America's Next Top Model.

On their way to their next destination, I asked Carol if she could drop me off at Homeplus so I could pick up some more tortilla wraps.
After getting out of the car, I had to wait a while to J-walk across the street. Instead of walking the whole 150 meters to the overpass crosswalk.

When I finally crossed, there were these 2 cops blowing their whistles for the entire time it took me to cross.

Opps. Busted for J-walking in Korea.

I played dumb foreigner and just kept walking and didn't even look at them.

What am I going to do? stop in the middle of the very busy road I was illegally crossing and go over to them?

Then what? We can look at each other and not understand what the other one is saying?

Note to self, don't J-walk. Not when there are cops around anyway!
