If you’re in Korea and you suddenly hear “Für Elise” being played for no appearent reason with a very loud, digital, metallic sound, you should watch out. I know, it can be very confusing. What could it be? Someone’s mobile phone? Public speakers warning for earthquakes? You never really can tell over here. But in this case it is that small type of van that is mostly found in Asia. The kind that is smaller than the average american car and seems to fit better in a playground than on the motorway. And it is reversing so be careful! Nothing in my mind would automatically make me watch out when I hear a piece of music being played. Bummer..

Asian photo pose
Have you seen asians (well, at least from Japan, China and Korea) when they have their picture taken? Have you noticed how popular the v-sign is? It seems to be impossible for them to do anything else in front of the camera. I have seen it in Asia, all over Europe and even in front of the train to Stockholm at the station in Gothenburg. And of course I had to try it too. Check out my authentic pose from the garden in the Forbidden City in Beijing. Does it not look good? 🙂
I also got a picture of our taxi driver and a guy who was hanging around the Great Wall. As soon as they saw the camera they automatically raised their hands in a v-sign. Aren’t they cute? Did you notice the pipe that the guy to the right is holding?
What’s wrong with this picture?
This is the castle in Prague. Would you have guessed by looking at the picture? You just can not escape, can you? You might have to click the image to see what I mean. 🙂
