I can&#8217;t remember anyone&#8217;s phone number anymore.
Receiving directions, I can&#8217;t remember where any of the roads are.  (It probably doesn&#8217;t help that directions in Korea never [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=postcardsandplaces.wordpress.com&blog=1847705&post=1245&subd=postcardsandplaces&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I love the smell, the sight, the touch, the sound,
Of subways and shopping malls kept underground;
