The exit of disability is unlimited without navigation. If I piece together a map

All the people I know in Seoul tell me to come to Insa-dong.* To the opposite

today, I was sitting in the bullet taxi, shot at the drivers’ targets. The
owner of the office is mocking me today. He said the office I visited yesterday
is right by us. I said it couldn’t be. I walked around for 20 feet, then
yesterday’s office was right in front of my nose. All the alleys radiate
outward.
