In the elevators, people pack in like sardines which I actually find cool, as it shows the willingness between people to work together to keep everything working, safe and clean.
Seoul Metro and Korean culture go hand in hand! You like BTS (popular K-Pop boyband)? There's a billboard promoting Jungkook for his birthday to your left. You like those earrings your favorite idol wore? They're selling knockoffs at the nearest underground shop. They even sell shoes in the Metro! There are many little shops set up everywhere. Sometimes the only marker is the small lady sitting on the floor ready to sell you just about anything that surrounds her. I was surprised at first, but I have since got used to seeing the traditional next door to the modern in Korea. Like seeing a woman selling roots and vegetables in plastic collangers next to a bustling, k-pop playing jewelry shop. When you are traveling by subway in Korea, you are exposed to all parts of the culture!
