ELECTION DAY




Election day is coming up in S Korea.  June 4th.  It is a national holiday so citizens have all day to vote for whomever they choose.  Back home, you would either have to run to the voting booth before work or run there after work.  Either way, you were running to make sure you cast your vote.  Elections bring out propaganda, right? So every morning at 5am, there are trucks with loud speakers yelling out how wonderful their candidate is and why we should vote for them. Since I am a visitor and have no voting rights here, I think only citizens should hear these early morning cries. Short term workers are in groups on every corner, with their candidate’s oh-so honest face on it. 

They bow in unison as the buses pass by.
Vote for me, please!
