西洋오랑캐

I believe it was either Newton or Einstien who said, “The day you forget your camera will be the day when the most photo opertunities present themselves.” Well that’s exactly what happened today. Today after work, U-rim and I went out to do some Christmas shopping (I’m not at liberty to say what we purchased since that would ruin the surprise) at one of the larger shopping areas here in Seoul, and wouldn’t you know, but there was a break dancing contest going on in that area. So I saw people poppin’ and lockin’ and doing the robot and head spins and every other break dancing move avalible.

In addition anytime shopping occurs, poor English is abudant. Some examples, some dude was wearing a satin bowling style jacket (gold colored of course) with a trout on the back and the phrase “I’d Rather Eat Meat!” The other thing I learned today that the big trend for winter fashion in Seoul is the word “Fuck.” I saw countless shirts, hats, pins, and probably pants that used the word fuck as a noun, verb, and adjective. Like the break dancing contest, these sketchy clothing items went unphotographed.

Finally on the way home U-rim decided she wanted pizza, so we went to Pizza Hut and ordered some rediculous Korean style pizza, again no photo. I did recieve some kind of calendar from Pizza Hut which has pictures of all the best random Korean pizzas, so if I ever get a scanner, you people will be in for a treat…or a shock depending on what you think is an appropriate pizza topping.

Anyhow U-rim is wearing a black tanktop and black tights and doing interpretive dancing, so I think that’s my cue to exit stage left. Peace out dudes!
