Lock on your soul

Date: 30 Aug 2006
Time: 0800 hrs (approx)
Place: Incheon Airport, Seoul

(sorf) I had just landed and I collected a cart for my baggage and was waiting at the conveyor belt. I felt a tap on my shoulder and looked around to see a 50-ish Korean lady in a very colourful outfit spoke a stream of Korean at me. It turns out she couldn't figure out how to pull out a trolley from the line of trolleys by pressing down on the handle and so I had to yank one out for her.

Tagalog chat-a-lot

Date: 12 Aug 2006
Time: 1536 hrs
Place: Cathay

(both) Sorf had just come out of her hair appointment and these two Filipino ladies, in their forties, one with a black sleeveless top, came straight up to us and asked "Where is the Plaza Sing?", and then we told her where it was and then she told us that she was looking for "a SIM card" and she was "walking round and round" and could not find one. I told her that on the first floor that she could try the Starhub shop.

Circle Line will kill them

Date: 12 Aug 2006
Time: 1415 hrs
Place: Dhoby Ghaut MRT

I'm walking towards the escalator that goes to Plaza Singapura when some Chinese man, wearing white t-shirt, black pans, spectacles and ruffled hair, probably Singaporean, walked up to my side and slightly behind me, and asked me how to go to Toa Payoh MRT. I told him to take the travellator to the other line and five stops up towards Jurong East.

Is the station really that confusing?
