ATW- Across the World

As promised this post is ATW or Across the World. I was originally going to title it Around the World, but since I will only be comparing South Korea and the US, it seems "around" would be a bit of a false representation.

1. The first ATW is dirty men which allows for the other related ATW prostitutes. Yes, yes the US and S Korea are both booming with the business of dirty men and their prostitutes. Every evening just like magic there are little pamphlets littering the street with ladies in their panties and phone numbers. A picture of such pamphlet must be posted as soon as I a) get the nerve to actually pick one up and b) have internet in our apt to upload for your viewing pleasure. Don't have a hard attack Granny they are wearing underwear :)

2. The second ATW is Jesus. Before someone starts to say a special prayer to save my soul from the fiery pits of hell, I do not mean this in a literal sense. It is simply the depictions of Jesus, whether he be a Caucasian man with brown hair, or an African American man, or a Korean man with Asian features.

3. Third ATW is those ear deafening recorders. JCD hands them out in the fifth grade, I believe. If the point is to instill appreciation of music in children, well maybe another instrument should have been chosen. Every lunch period at my school, I have the choice of listening to my students attempt to play those shrieking instruments or tune it out with Jack Johnson and Brett Dennen. Sorry Hyein girl middle schoolers, but I would like to keep my hearing intact.

4. Fourth ATW are those ridiculous women who try to treat their puppy like an accessory. Before going on, I would like to say that just because Delilah may own two sweaters, I am not in this category ;) In the US, you have women like Paris Hilton carrying around her pooch in her purse, and in Korea you have a lady who has dyed her dogs fluffy ears and tail bright pink. I saw this woman and her dog a few days ago. Today, I saw them both again and the dog's ears were orange and her tail was pink. At least color coordinate for the poor pooch :(

I am forgetting a few and Trav is in the apt. and not here to remind me. So I apologize for the loss of sleep that you will all have to endure until my list is finished ;)
