Daejeon Transportation

It turns out that you can't take bikes on the subway in Daejeon. Or rather, you aren't supposed to. Today is Lindsay's birthday, so we went out to Indy to eat. As we were leaving it started to rain hard, so Will and I decided we'd rather take the subway than soak our dress clothes biking home. We were stopped by someone who works in the subway, who told us that we couldn't bring our bikes on board. However, she saw the rainwater on our shoulders and thighs and took pity on us (plus, being a foreigner lets you get away with a lot in Korea since they want us to leave with a favorable impression of the country). She did tell us not to take our bikes up and down the subway, which we thought was both unspeakably obvious and suddenly very tempting to try. One really could ride down the Daejeon subway since there are no barriers between the cars, and had more people gotten off before our stop I bet we would have given in to our whims, consequences be damned. Oh well.
