Way Back When Wednesday - Walking down the street

Walking down the street--or sidewalk--in Sokcho, South Korea is quite an adventure. 

Most food delivery drivers drive on the sidewalk.  They drive mopeds so they can get away with it. Sort of.

When we waked down streets that didn't have sidewalks, we were always confused because mopeds sound like trucks and trucks sound like mopeds.  We always ended up giving mopeds way more room to pass us than they needed and barely gave trucks enough!!

Most sidewalks were paved with pavers and over time they settled unevenly making sidewalks very hard to walk on.  I'm such a klutz anyway, the only way to keep me safe was to always watch my step so I wouldn't trip!
