something I'd never seen before...
Friday, February 26th
Learning Moment: Seoul, Korea
Big day today in Korea...
We had a very successful slide:ology workshop.
Kim Yu-Na won the gold medal with a record setting performance (if you think that might not be a big deal in Korea, you would be way off target).
And, I saw something I'd never seen before.
This is, of course, the reason why I travel. When traveling - if you pay attention - you will see at least one thing a day that you'd never seen before. These things are sometimes beautiful, sometimes sad, often perplexing.
Today's sighting falls squarely in the perplexing category.
Our workshop was held on the 9th floor of the Kongdong building. On this floor there is a company and a public meeting room. The restroom is shared.
In the restroom is what appears to be a public toothbrush container. I'm not sure if this is a shared toothbrush collection, or if Korean trust is so high that you can store your personal toothbrush in a public restroom without worrying that anyone will do anything (and, of course, I mean anything) to it.
On the other hand. It does have a UV purifier, so maybe it doesn't matter?
Yeah, good luck with that.
