Not at Natwest

I was walking through the streets of Myedong on Saturday, earlier today, and we heard some chanting and clapping. Intrigued as we were we followed the scent, turned the corner to find 30 or so immaculately dressed 'Shinhan Bank' workers lined up. Shinhan is one of the leading banks in Korea, it also happens to be the bank that I chose to manage my finances. So they were lined up and singing football style songs whilst performing non-football like dance moves. One very enthusiastic guy spotted us and came over, he spoke English and informed us that they were new employees of Shinhan Bank and they were showing their sheer delight at their new life and also that it was now 2008 and no longer 2007. I've never seen this kind of open hearted happiness anywhere in the world - ESPECIALLY from a high street bank. Imagine going into a Natwest bank on Balham High Road, Oxford Street, Wardour Street etc etc and seeing a worker just smile, let alone 30 of them singing and dancing in -3 conditions. That's the spirit I thought. Giovanna and I couldn't help but watch them for a while - they made us happy.
Apologies for the picture quality. Was an emotional moment and forgot to switch from MF to AF on the old DSLR.
P.S. we walked 5 minutes down the road and there was another 30 employees doing exactly the same thing at another branch of the 'Shinhan Bank'. So if you ever come to Korea, show your support for the 'Shinhan Bank'.
