These are the same people that when they are alone will drift aimlessly from one side of the sidewalk to the other without caring who is trying to pass. These are the same people that for no discernable reason will stop on a dime and make an instantaneous 180 degree turn without realizing that there are 1,000 people directly behind them walking at full speed. In my opinion, it is simply a "no one else but me exists." self-inflicted Jedi mind trick. I think it is more about not giving a crap about anyone but yourself.

I'm not being snarky with the question, I really want to know. Koreans (overall) seem a pretty insecure bunch of people. And taking up the whole sidewalk in a crowded city seems a pretty silly way to make up for this trait. Jeff - Is the Korean RoadBlock™ somehow related (somehow) to Korean insecurity?
