Seoul - Escalator

This is a short video footage on the escalator on the way up to the Seoul Station from the metro station of "Seoul Station" - Korean people usually stand on the right side of the escalator to let people who are in a hurry pass by on the left side - so if you are standing side by side with a friend on an escalator in a crowded area like the Seoul Station or actually pretty much everywhere, you are likely to be knocked on on the shoulder and told "excuse me? let me pass."

It's so cool and exciting how everybody is speaking Korean around you! (of course, it's Korea afterall!) In Singapore, whenever I hear a Korean person or family speaking Korean, I would get really excited. And in Singapore, we stand on the left side of the escalator. :) People who are in a hurry would walk on the right side. :)
