{No, this is actually a NYC cab. Korean cabs are silver or black, but I wanted to find a cool photo to mess with.}
I am convinced that Korean taxi drivers have a partnership with NASCAR or a local demolition derby... Next taxi I come across I will tag it with a large #4 on both sides.
And now it's time for "DID YOU KNOW?" with Brandon!:
"Hi kids! Did you know that the number 4 is considered an unlucky number here in Korea because it resembles the Chinese character that means "Death". Most hotels and other buildings change the #4 on their elevators to the letter "F" instead or just skip to the number "5". This is very similar to how some countries treat the number "13". I work on the "5th" floor of my building, however, we all know now what floor it REALLY is. Fear of the number 4 is called "Tetraphobia"."
And so brings us to my next point; BUCKLE UP... or just ride the subway.
That is all.
Wait, why does it just say the letter "F" instead of 4? Why not like have chuck norris' face on the button for floor 4 instead. I think that would be much more appropriate than "F"
