Jackpot

Today I reached a personal milestone in Korea: my coffe girl (i.e. prostitute) count has now surpassed 50, and I can stop counting.

Today was the first day where it was actually chilly outside. I think in Korea there is a weather button, and you hit and HEY! there's autumn. All jokes aside, it was an absolutely beautiful sunny day. The air was crisp, the wind was blowing, and long sleeves were in order.

Liz and I decided to walk to Home Plus. While walking I always keep my eyes and ears peeled for the sounds of the coffee girls. The loud music and the sideway pose on the back of the bike are the indicators. Usually I can see at least one when I walk. Not on this day. Today I saw SIX. And not only did I see that many, I actually came within touching distance of 3 of them! One stopped to refuel her "bodyguards" scooter. Liz and I were pretty excited by that. Then one whizzed and turned the corner as we crossed the street, about 3 feet from where we stood. Awesome again. And then on the way home one came flying down an alley, and I could have reached out and grabbed the strap of her Hello Kitty purse.

I do realize this is a strange and twisted hobby, but seriously, who cares?! It entertains me endlessly. If only I could get a photograph...
