In the spirit of continuing to try to cheer us all up as Britain swirls inexorably down the plughole, here’s a photo I took exactly three years ago in Gyeryongsang, South Korea. At least you might as well be comfy while waiting for a bus.

I’ll bring a book, shall I? 🙂 🙂

Only if it’s in Korean script, hangul: 여보세요. When in South Korea ….

Oh wow at first glance I thought that’s outré for Yorkshire before I noticed the script. Actually, right now I think we could do with this and more across all parts of the UK.

what a great pic for a great challenge title! Rather a nice sofa too. Comfortable, stylish and surreal all at the same time. Was it one of a kind or were there other examples? Did it go with the S. Korean psyche?

It really doesn’t! They’re tidy, conforming, and western type furniture has only relatively recently become a ‘thing’. Restaurants still often seat you on the floor at very low tables, for instance. As far as we were concerned, this example was unique.

All I can think of is what happens when the rain (or snow! Does it snow in South Korea?) is coming down sideways!

It does snow, so I’m told. And this is in a mountainous area. I don’t know how long that sofa had been there, or if it’s still where we saw it.

Even more impressive is what appears to be a mop or brush next to it.

My goodness! Was your trip to South Korea three years ago? Time is rushing by. I do like the sofa, though!

I know! It seems more recent than that to me too. It’s a very English looking sofa, isn’t it?

Well, I’m sorry to say we didn’t try it out. We didn’t need a bus that day.

That is funny, Margaret! The locals must have not had a regular bus line.

The romantic in me is touched by this wonderful kindness.
The pragmatic in me is wondering how it’ll survive the rain.
And the less than eagle-eyed in me is wondering what’s on the sign to the right of the bus stop?

I’m afraid I don’t know the answer to that one. And Korea can definitely do rain, though we were quite lucky. I wonder how long that sofa lasted there?

You and me both! It’s such a sweet gesture, I wonder if there were additional ones around it, with people taking care of it, maybe even expanding on it?
