- it is not uncommon to see young Korean couples in matching outfits, and not just matching colors, but actually the exact same outfit. It's more than a little disturbing if you ask me.
- remember the Seinfeld "man purse" episode? You've entered Korea. Young Korean men frequently carry man purses, and as imagined, don't look a bit masculine doing so.
- William doesn't think I conveyed the innate dangerous-ness of the 4-way-yellow intersections. We went through one yesterday on our bikes at the same time as a bus driver thought he had the right-of-way so yes, William, you are right. They are very dangerous!
- I still can't believe Korean women wear high heels every day in any outfit. Tonight we saw a woman wearing a t-shirt and jean shorts with black tights and high heels. Did I mention it's 90 degrees and humid outside? Why would anyone in their right mind be wearing tights?
- you can tell the little old women who've worked in the rice fields their entire lives because they are literally bent over at the waist, permanently. Their upper bodies are perpendicular to the ground. It's sad to see these 80- to 90-year-old women walking this way still pulling carts behind them filled with groceries, cardboard, or something else. It's always women, too. I've never seen a man bent over so badly here.
