Something About Trains

Today, like most Saturdays, I took a 40 minute train ride to Daejeon. As you can see from this picture, taking the train in Korea is a little different from taking the train in Canada. What you can't see is the 80 or so other soldiers that had yet to arrive. Yes, I know soldiers take the train in Canada, but their presence seems so much more evident here. What you can't see is the young faces on these men. I would estimate their average age to be about 18. Korean men must serve at least 2 years of active duty. This can include being a soldier, police man, post office worker or any other government job. On another note: it snowed today! While I didn't actually see the snow fall it's evidence was everywhere when I got back to the station. Better get out those brooms!
