After asking him if I could take his picture, I explained why: if Santa's riding the subway, maybe it's because his sleigh is broken. We shared a quick laugh and I said thank you.
Considering this whole dialogue was in Korean, I felt pretty good about myself. Although I didn't know the Korean word "slegh" at the time, I was able to work around it by saying "특별 차," ("special car"). (My wife later told me it's "썰매.")
Merry Christmas.

Subway Santa
I was in Seoul to visit a friend today, and saw this guy.
After asking him if I could take his picture, I explained why: if Santa's riding the subway, maybe it's because his sleigh is broken. We shared a quick laugh and I said thank you.

Merry Christmas.
