Some Pictures To Enjoy

Now, just some pictures from around town, around Korea... things to tickle your funny bone, things that are strange, things that are just interesting. So, here is a glimpse of my life.

First of all, did you know that it's the year of the pig? Well, it is. You can buy pig shaped things everywhere. I bought a golden pig lighter that you push down on the tail and fire shoots out of the rear. Classy. Apparently it's good luck to have a baby in the year of the pig. I've read that the sale of birth control is down this year. Anyway, here is a nice pig shaped cake that was not available before new year.

Last week I went with Victoria and her winter English camp kids to Building 63 on their class trip. Building 63 is, you guessed it, 63 stories high. It has a mini mall in it, observation deck, IMAX theatre, and small aquarium. Here is a picture of a soap store in the mall. Why is it called "Lush?" Is it a soap boutique for drunkards?In the aquarium they had this habit of putting stupid very fake plastic things in the tanks. For instance, origami cranes. Are they native to jelly fish tanks? Well, here are a couple pics of the big tank with a plastic jeweled diver in it. How tacky is that? The diver is the green guy at the bottom of the tank.

So, Koreans are really racist. However, it's equal opportunity. Koreans don't like anyone who isn't Korean. So, to prove this, here is a very racist (in my opinion) stereotypical alarm clock that I saw in an underground store. Oh my.
