not exactly street legal...


i must report i just had the most eventful between-class walk to the kimbap shop. upon my approach i heard yelling outside a car park and lingered to see what was going on (yes, im one of those sickos who has to see it play out). there were two korean women and two korean men arguing, and one of the women grabbed one of the men's sleeves and was pulling on it and yelling at him. he was trying to push her off but she was getting pretty shrill and hysterical. then she became more aggressive at which point she grabbed his hair, to which he responded by grabbing her hair, and they had a full-out, dramatic, hair-pulling cat fight (save for the fact that one of them was a man). this tug-of-hair went on for a bit and then things escalated even more and he pinned her down on the hood of a car. as the police rolled up in a hurry and one jumped out of the car and ran to the scene of the fight there were a number of onlookers, who probably understood a lot more than i did as all of the shouting was obviously in korean. the police broke it up and at this moment they are likely sorting out the upset

i wonder what they were fighting about? what great crime of passion would necessitate a street fighting style that allows for hair-pulling?
never in my life have i seen such a spectacle amongst adults...
