Falling down everywhere

I am now keeping a running tally of how many times I fall in public and make a total fool out of myself. For example I had to meet with somebody the other night at 8:30, so I took a short nap before and of course overslept. So I got up in a daze still half asleep and was running down the 3 flights of stairs in my apartment building and right when I got to the outer door my foot got caught on something and I literally went flying out the doors right onto my face. It kinda knocked me out for a minute because i flew over 3 steps and it was a long way down to the ground, it was probably one of the roughest falls in my life. To make it worse standing not 10 feet away were about 5 or 6 young Korean girls who were all staring at me with their mouths wide open. I just got up and casually walked away and acted like "what you've never seen an American flying through the doors of an apartment building like superman!"

Another time I was just getting on a bus I put my money in the slot and bent over to get my change and the bus driver looked at me a smirked and hit the gas really hard (okay maybe he didn't smirk at me but I like to think he did) I didn't even have a chance to get my change, the bus lurched forward so hard that it knocked me to my knees and I went sliding a couple feet. Not many people on the bus but it was still really embarrassing, I pulled myself up and just sat down in a seat and put my head down.

Those are just two of the better stories the rest are me tripping on a sidewalk and then me pretending that I was going to run anyways.

Warning Graphic photos!


A bunch of us were walking through the city last Monday night and came across this, a man who threw up then passed out drunk with the door half open with his head on the armrest. Keep in mind this is right in the center of town in front of Mcdonalds and Pizza hut, with a lot of people walking by and not thinking twice. This is a really common thing here, on any random night I have to navigate through business men peeing in public and throwing up in the middle of the sidewalk (it's a wonder how I keep my shoes clean).
