Bus Driver: Stop is coming up.SCCRREEECHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH H
And don't get me started on dump trucks, long box haulers and ... did you see - a few years ago - in Seoul, the cement truck intersection tip-over attempt to avoid an aggressive scooter? Three women instantly perished and it blew up the Internet - then it disappeared; likewise ended up the guy in Seoul who was in a wheelchair who, after everyone quickly passed him, angrily launched his chair at the elevator doors four times. He then plunged down the shaft to his death. The video went viral. The next day it was announced he died in an elevator "incident" A week later, all references were SCRUBBED.
The dump truck incident happened in Seosan.
Seosan? ... I was off by 110 km.Having spent 20 years in Gyeongsangnamdo & on Jeju, URBAN stories often are Seoul or not Seoul. I have been to Busan countless times, Daegu, Gwangju, but you cite SEOSAN? Google tells me its 110 km from Seoul. So I stand thereby corrected. The POINT remains. (Ain't trying to diss Seoul here). Metro Seoul at best.

Scrubbed. Irony if not acknowledged.
How can you have been here 20 years and not know where Seosan is? Also how can you have been a journalist and still f-up the basic facts of a story so badly.
... driving my Morris 1100 with my 8 track crackling through cheap speakers.
.1. I was a newspaper journalist 1994-2001.2. I came to South Korea to teach for ONE year in 2002.3. I caught the teaching bug.4. I loved teaching English and living an expat life here in Geoje & Hadong (both in Gyeongsangnamdo far from Seoul), liking it so much that I re-signed, then re-signed, okay then went to get my CELTA to teach somewhere worldwide thereafter (Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia).5. Then I went to Hadong to teach Monday to Thursday 4pm-750pm with 3 day weekends for 3 years at 2.6 mill. Easy peasy travel me - see!6. Then my mom died. My dad died. My sis died. And I found myself alone in 2009 and only liking teaching.7. I taught my best on Jeju 2009-2017.8. I since 2017 remain in Geochang, back in my fav province, teaching three days a week here, two days an-hour away in Jinju because of COVID.9. I know next to nothing about cities and towns near Seoul. I have driven there twice (in my beloved Korando I am only ridiculed about around here - does anyone else smile when they get into their vehicle, and think they are rock & rolling?) and express bused about a dozen times to the capital city. I have never lingered or explored its urban sprawl, its surrounding metro area (nor have i felt the journalistic need to double check the facts, I lying on a bed and one-finger texting these days rather than all-guns going newspaper reporting last century. I'm a has been in that dep't.)10. G'day.
Seosan is NOT in the Seoul Metro Area!
Cool. Pictures please ....
Did someone say..... Seosan?https://youtu.be/H0Oq_vUAWN8
I watched it again, one of 300-odd people to do so.
doesnt look quite as cool as it sounds but here they are
Many seoulites consider anywhere outside the capital 지방.By definition, the Seoul Metro Area ends at the borders of Gyeonggi Province.
