Here are some funny different things that I have come across since the last time I made a post.
So here we have the Severance Hospital…better hope you never have to go there for anything…you may arrive home less a limb…or worse. Next to that is the Foreign Restaurant…you know in case you just arrived in Korea and were about Korean cuisine and wanted a taste of home.
Here is Andrew…again…I’m starting to think we spend to much time together. He is posing with this stereotypically effeminate hair salon statue. I do realize that the odd thing isn’t that the statue is effeminate but rather that the statue itself exists on this earth in the first place. Next to it we have a book store called “What the Book’? Actually a pretty cool name if you ask me.
And lastly my very favourite sign from this set…“Magic Hole”!!! Besides, “Why?” and “Doesn’t that company have a person that speaks English that is not from Korea on their staff and if not why didn’t they just approach an English speaking foreigner who is visibly not Korean on the subway or in some other random place and ask them if the phrase “Magic Hole” had any other connotation that may be viewed in a less than favourable way as it related to their product?”, many questions popped into my head when I saw this banner. By the way, this is some national campaign and not just some mom and pop store. Back to my questions…“What does the Magic Hole do and what exactly goes into the Magic Hole?” “Should you even put anything in it in the first place?” Just because it’s magic that doesn’t mean that something good will happen if you stick something in it. "Would it be a good idea to stick an inanimate object in it first…you know to test it out?” How about your finger first…if you loose it would you still have 7 more and 2 thumbs…I could live with that. Or how about some small animal like a rodent or kitten that you had become bored with or one you had only pretended to love because it was a gift from your now former girlfriend. So bizarre…but oddly enough…I want one.
