Say WHAT?!

I was so busy last week that I completely forgot to post my Say WHAT?! photo. I’m not sure what’s worse… that I had it ready a week in advance or that I didn’t realize I forgot until Friday. Oops!

Say WHAT?!

As an elementary school teacher in South Korea, I was often shocked at some of the clothes my students would wear. Curse words or obscenities didn’t bother anyone!

I asked some of my teacher friends if they had any examples of kids wearing messed up stuff to school and my friend Jenny sent me this.

At Haeundae Beach in Busan, South Korea there is some wall art that left me amazed and confused. I have to admit, I did think it was a bit ridikiles.

Dave spotted this shirt at our local grocery store.

“Parachuting it seem to be casual.”

Do you agree??

Dave and I saw this coffee shop sign in Seoul Station.

Sounds a lot like Cinderella, but are you as confused as we were?

While Melissa and Mendi were here we walked through a street market and saw this shirt on sale for only 5,000 won (about $5)!

Sometimes seemingly innocent words end up meaning something a little bit more scandalous…

Say WHAT?!

This is a total generalization, but I’ll go out on a limb here and say that Koreans seem to be completely obsessed with POOP! You can find it in many different forms… from toilet museums, poop shaped snack food to poop that you can wear.

Today’s Say WHAT?! is a pair of socks that I picked up at Daiso, a huge dollar store chain in Korea (and Japan). At the top it says ddong, which literally means “shit.”

Would you wear these socks?

Say WHAT?! Wednesday is back!

After a summer hiatus, Say WHAT?! Wednesday has returned. I know you’ve been missing it so I’ll get straight to it…

Last March, a group of us went to Daegu to a place called Woobang Tower Land. It’s a really fun amusement park. There is actually a tower and at the top of it there is a revolving restaurant. We decided to venture up to have some lunch. As it turns out, none of us were in the mood for “robster” so we decided to pass.

Cute iPhone cases are all the rages in South Korea, but this one caught me off guard…

My dear friends Mendi and Melissa are visiting me in Korea. We have been having a great time wandering around my neighborhood. We saw some AMAZING things, but it wasn’t until the end of the night that we saw something that made us speechless. But Melissa still managed to pose for a photo…
