And now, back to your regularly-scheduled (ha ha ha) photos of weird stuff from abroad. In this installment: marvel at the unique and yet eerily familiar sights of Korea!
Eh. Close enough.
Kenny Rogers' official Karaoke Establishment! It was decorated in a faux-Medieval village motif inside, strangely, the walls painted with scenes of cute wooden hamlets and roads winding off into the hills. I believe Kenny Rogers may be from the Shire. Incidentally, there were no Kenny Rogers songs on the karaoke machines.
We can take a hint. This specially designated area for foreign shops was well stocked with knock-off merchandise and what I can only assume was an abundance of brothels staffed by Eastern European women. So...this dude's friendly expression might be a tad inappropriate for the situation, is what I'm saying.
Some of the better graffiti I've seen. Commentary on the club culture and its adherents? Or...dude who thinks rats are cool?
Entry number 6 in my collection of pictures hung above toilets in Asia. This one is evocative if confusing. Personally, I think the warning would be more effective if it acknowledged the dangers of soju.
The Women's Lounge at a subway station in Seoul. As you can see, it offers all the amenities to which women are accustomed to, provided there is no more than one woman waiting for the toilet.
Seen all over the subway in Busan. Your guess is as good as mine.
