Korea Flag Korea: Seoul's M.R.T. Flag Korea

Seoul's Mass rapid Transport (MRT) is certainly one of the best subway networks in the world.

Stations are big and spacious. But most of them are open, so I guess it has to be quite cold in winter.

Trains are long and comfortable, running every few minutes.

Here's a map of Seoul's MRT, and this is the official site: www.seoulmetro.co.kr.

 

One of the funniest things that has ever happened to me while travelling, happened while riding the subway from Seoul to Suwon.

The guy you see on the left entered the subway, with a guitar and a small amp.
He sat down on the floor and started to play.
Unlike people I've seeing playing in subways around Europe, who only play a couple of songs, he played for almost 40 minutes.

He played different songs, talked to the travellers, did a lot of jokes (well, people laughed, but I didn't understand anything of course) and... he invited me to play...

I first refused, but he insisted so... I sat down on the floor, he gave me his guitar, and I played Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here in Seoul's MRT!

It was a nice experience.
