maps and blood types

i gave some students a test to find out if they can tell me directions in English to get to some places in Shiwa, yet they didn't know at all. one girl said, to get to the subway station, first catch the bus, second, when you see the station sign, get off the bus. considering they're 15, i found their lack of knowledge of their hometown pretty odd. so, i had to get a map for them and figured i'd post it.

best representation of where i live:


the red circle is Shiwa, and the yellow arrow is pointing at the causeway i rode my bike along in summer (11km of top gear time trialing, rah).

and Shiwa:


dark grey: work
purple: two subway stations
yellow: E-mart (supermarket)
red: movie theatre
green: two driving ranges i know (there's others i can't find)
black: Hapkido class
orange square: restaurants, bars, noribangs (karaoke), and general shopping.
light blue: north west of that line is a big park that gets filled every weekend in summer with people cycling, playing sports, etc. there's a hill to climb too.

the buildings with blue rooves to the south are manufacturing plants. a lot of the people working there drink in the same places as us. the green line of trees literally seperates the industrial from the residential.

the same class of kids that didn't know how to get to the subway station asked what my blood type is, but i didn't know. they were shocked. the whole class knew theirs. different priorities? indeed, when i joined at Hapkido, Kwan Jang Nim's face told the story when I couldn't tell him my blood type. he wasn't impressed.
