back in november, hannah and i once tried to hitchhike in korea. we stood by the main highway on a saturday morning and hannah put her thumb out and shouted continuously, "look at laura, she's white! she's blond! pick us up!" we were unsuccessful and a bit disillusioned.
i went home that day and tried to figure out what we had done wrong. apparently, hitchhiking is known and done in korea but, there is no standard sign or rule for how to do it. and, it's not very common.
i've never actually seen a hitchhiker in korea until this week. i made yoon (our new bi-lingual teacher) ask him if he needed a ride to where we were going, he declined. probably because he saw me taking this picture of him.
