Good god, I fucking love the Seoul Metro Transit system. One day, I wish to ride Line 8.
>and why the FUCK don't we have anything even close to this here?

they redesigned the map recently btw

>>214261014
wtf the circle looks like the one in the flag

>>214260986 (OP)
Think there is one in boston.
desu I like the maps more then I like actually like metros themselves. I dont like being in moving boxes with hords of strangers if I can help it.

>>214261014
oh, that's lovely too. Looks much more organized, despite looking too much like Tokyo's.
>I miss the old jingles

>>214261051
In Korea, it's either that, or you're walking...and every day is Leg Day.
>though there are buses and taxis

>>214260986 (OP)
Is the map condensed or are the stops actually that close to eachother?

>>214261087
Very condensed. For example, it's SUCH a long stretch between Yangju and Deokgye, a bit shorter to Deokjeong, but a long stretch to Jihaeng (if headed toward Soyosan). It's still fast though...but the real speed is on the KTX: I rode from Songtan to Itaewon in about 45 mins on the KTX, which took over 3 hours on the 'regular' train.

>>214261053
there are so many other versions still being used, I don't know which one is the official. from what I remember that blocky map was still being used in signs across stations and inside the trains. and here's this round edge but square version which I haven't seen often.

>>214261141
How do gaijins navigate this?

>>214261141
This one's even better. I guess I'm too deep in the gnostic Saturnine prison to think otherwise.

>>214261174
>gaijins
This is Korea, sir/ma'am. Foreigners are referred to as "weigukins." In any case, it's super-easy; just get on, and get off at your station. You may even have to change trains at certain stations; it can be fun.

>>214261255
'way-gook-in' might sound more solv

>>214261087
here's how it looks like on a real map, apparently
>>214261174
Idk really, that's confusing for me too.

>>214260986 (OP)
avoid line2
it's full of weirdos

>>214261255
>Foreigners are referred to as "weigukins."
It's a weeb site imnida
>In any case, it's super-easy; just get on, and get off at your station
That's not super easy THO

>>214261311
Ohhhh okay thanks, I like that map better

>>214261330
What's wrong with line2 except for excessive amounts of people. Are you even a Seoul citizen?

Line1 is famous for weirdos.

>>214261354
i hate boomers and line2 is filled with boomers

I wish I can experience any firstie convenience. It doesn't even need to be riding a high tech efficient train. It could just be being treated like a human being or something simple like a fucking sidewalk with no rabid dogs.

>>214261330
Have you seen this lady? I heard she is famous in korea

>>214261311
fucking massive, innit.

>>214261330
>>214261354
Line 2 is where all the stupid-rich people are (consequence of going right through Starfield COEX and Gangnam). So, it makes sense.

>>214261403
>Philippines
Koreans are unjustifiably racist towards your people.

>>214261427
She's famous, but it's very hard to encounter any famous subway figures in trains.

>>214261439
probably still smaller than Tokyo's

>>214261439
>>Philippines
>Koreans are unjustifiably racist towards your people.

You Americans enabled them by abandoning us economically after we were ruined by WW2 but then subsidizing South Korea with free money in the hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild them after the Korean War.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippines%E2%80%93United_States_relations

>During the Cold War between the Capitalist United States and Communist Soviet Union, in Asia, despite being devastated by World War 2, defending US interests, and being a former colony, the Philippines, received negligible financial assistance from the United States with only $5 Billion US Dollars worth of aid in totality since Independence[18] compared to the copious amount of free development aid given to other Asian allies like: Israel ($317.9 Billion US Dollars in free aid),[19] South Korea ($119.9 Billion US dollars in free aid)[20][21] South Vietnam ($104 Billion Dollars in free aid),[19] Taiwan, ($41.81015 Billion US Dollars in free aid by year 1975[22] which convert to $242 Billion US Dollars in 2024 values as adjusted for inflation)[23] and Japan,[24][25] as the United States considered their economic development more important than that of the Philippines because they had hostile Pro-Soviet Union neighbors which the United States were opposed to.[26] Furthermore, America applied a deindustrialization policy and supported Free Market reforms in the Philippines, assigning it a role of only "supplying raw materials" while being open to foreign imports, because Japan was designated to be the main industrial export power in Asia,[25] thus retarding Industrialization efforts in the Philippines while the other nations that were protectionist and had Industrial Policy surged ahead in development.[27]:42,43[28]

The US supported the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos.[29]

>>214261513
I'm aware of all that, and how the U.S. basically annexed The Philippines at the turn of the previous century. I don't like it; I don't like my country. Still, my point stands in how Koreans are toward you (which I also don't like).

>>214261464
Wtf did she go to gookrea?

>>214261563
You're Alright American Anon.

Line 8 was recently extended north and it crosses the Han river now.

>>214261597
It's decades old picture when she was in Korea for her performance. Love story era I guess

>>214260986 (OP)
Looks chaotic and Lovecraftian Eldritch horror

>>214261646
>Aguinaldo did nothing wrong, and the yanquis deserved worse
Maganda.

>>214261664
Nice. I'm really mostly interested because the line is rose.

>>214261687
Looks chaotic, but with map applications, it's easy to navigates. When traveling from one place to another, one or two routes are sufficient, so the other lines would be hidden.

>>214261694
The Philippine-American War was very sad really. Since the First Philippine Republic was patterned after the American and French Republics; our original flag even took the symbols of the Sun of May of Argentina and the flag of the American State of Texas.

Had we not been invaded and destroyed by America we would be the most Pro-American nation in Asia; since our literal constitution and national symbols were patterened after America and France. You would have an extremely Amero-phile ally in Asia.

Instead America has to fuck us up by Americans destroying a Republic built in admiration of America.

>>214261403
Don't you guys have metro in Manila? I swear I traveled in it for a week when I was working there

>>214261842
>Americans destroying a Republic built in admiration of America
Literally what I've been reading the last couple of days...

>>214261846

We have the oldest Metro system in Southeast Asia but it's hella old and decrepit.

>>214260986 (OP)
I used to take that one to see my friend
>>214261330
I was followed by a woman once on line 2, that was interesting

>>214261907

Are you a gigachang

Mostly he might be a delusional or distorted cult evangelist. Many such cases. (I don't know the spell)

>>214261983
she*

>>214261948
I'm white, I just digital nomad in Asia.
I'm okay looking, I think I was cutting at that time so my body was at its best, but nobody could see it.
>>214261983
She was delusional actually, mentally ill and thought I was a character from a book. She is so nice though, so I hope she is doing well. I do get approached by Christians a lot in Korea though, just not that time.

Right, well I'm going to go meditate. Rakuten Viki removed a K-sitcom I had been watching from availability in my region, and I'm a bit miffed to say the least.

Use a vpn nigga

>>214262226
I can't; I'm on a Roku.

>>214261513
Were the Philippines the only asian country impacted by war destruction? You really think it was just money that Japan "needed" to get going again, as opposed to it being the remnants of a contender, who was just waking up, being Frankensteined to life? Look at Malaysia, as an example, they'd rather build multi-story mall complexes then get things like their water infrastructure clearly organised, and even little things like waiting for pedestrians to cross a road at a city pedestrian crossing is a fucking difficulty for them. The problem with South East Asia is that it's filled with South East Asians.
