While we were in Korea in August they were busy changing the signs in
the subway and train stations. But I don't think those in charge are
aware how many signs there are in each individual station. So whereas
the main sign might have been changed, the little ones showing where you
have come from or are heading to hadn't been changed. Just a bit of
added confusion.

Not only the place names are being affected, however. They were also
changing all those explanatory signs at historical sites, etc. I hope
you are all aware that that last Korean dynasty was the Joseon dynasty. 
Anyone for Yi again?
