They`re all here!! Toocan Sam! Tony the Tiger! That crazy rooster from Corn Flakes!
This is Hubert holding (and making a face at) a FIVE LITRE bottle (if it can really be called a "bottle" of Soju, the Korean liquor taht runs at about 18 to 23 % alcohol per volume and which most Korean people frink in copious amounts. FIVE FREAKIN LITRES!!!!
Adding to my impression that this is a nation of alcoholics to rival the Irish here is teh beer section of the cooler at the supermarket. Please note that the massive two-litre bottles are not soda pop. They are in fact beer. Who the hell drinks beer out of a two-litre bottle?! Koreans. That`s who.
I have no iddea what this ad is for but it makes me laugh. Partly beacuse i think it might be an add promoting bulimia and partly because the toilet is singing!
Dear Americans: you no longer have the market on fatty fried foods! Behold! The cheese-french-fries-and-batter-ON-A-STICK!!! Seriously, though, who thought of sticking french fries to it?
I call it the Wheel Of Thong. It has the power to hypnotize and brainwash men in mere seconds. If the North Koreans ever got their hands on it the world as we know it might end...
This happy little guy was the mascot of the Seoul Olympics and these murals adorn the walls of one of the larger subway stations near where our hotel was in Seoul. I actually vaguely remember him. But it`s one of those cultural-consciousness kind of memories, not the "Oh yeah, that guy!" kind. It took me a while to realize that the blue line over his head is actually a ribbon attached to his hat (a traditional Korean hat). I just thought he was dizzy.
