Seen while walking...
A few things that I've seen recently which I think that some of you might enjoy. South Korea might be a little closer/further from North America than you might think...
1) Observed while walking through the small market beside my little grocery store. The meat market man, was weighing the meat of an older lady in her sixties on the scale. Now, the older lady was arguing with the man, NOT about the cigarette dangling from his lips that had ash falling over the open meats, but because it appeared as if his hands were adding extra weight to the scales...
2) On the subway last week on my way back home from church, a small family sat down across from me, and the man had BANGS. I'm not talking about just simple hair dangling over his forehead, but serious bouncing "hair curler" bangs. And to further my surprise at this new fashion trend, his wife made sure they were straight by checking that they were straight.
3) It is slightly unbecoming for a middle-aged man, or any man between his mid-twenties and late fifties to go barefoot in sandals in public. I do it, and most people look at me as if I'm straight off the set of "Lord of the Rings" with my short hair on my feet. (women can go in public without shaving their legs regularly and go barefoot all the time, and men need restrictions?) Regardless, the man in question was one-upping the frequent "socks in sport sandals" look by wearing coloured toe socks with his Nike ACG sandals as he prepared for his hiking trip.
4) Pink is in. I don't know if this has made its way to North America, however, I don't think that it will be long before everything pink is seen on men; I've even fallen prey to this. However, the women think it looks even better on men than on women, so I'll wear my pink with pride.
5) However...this is something that I do NOT think will come back to North America - White pants on men. I'm not talking about off-white, or cream coloured pants, but straight bleach white pants. Its almost become the new black for pants; it virtually matches with everything in your wardrobe. This is something I won't be partaking in.
If I see more, I'll be sure to note them.
God bless,
