Seeing Is Believing


Some days I think about how strange it will be to go back home one day… true, there’ll be a lot of readjusting and reverse culture shock… but one of the things I’ll miss most is the excitement and randomness of everyday life that I experience here. Take this past weekend for example: two full days in the sand and surf, where Haeundae beach has become a sea of Koreans and umbrellas….and with this sheer density of people, it seems only natural that it would exhibit many of these very quirky things which help make my time here so entertaining. Common findings at the beach are Koreans swimming in full clothing (or too small speedos), women sporting high heels, people buried in the sand, and couple photo shoots. These are just a few behaviours that are odd and wonderful and have come to be expected of a day at the beach… so my weekend hit a new level of wonderful, with an experience that topped them all.... Befriending and photographing with Korean bodybuilders. How can you top that?
