The Iceberg

There’s a big Halloween party in Yeosu tonight. I’m going as a gweesheen (귀신) - a Korean ghost. The party starts at 9 p.m., but before that I’m going to conduct a little social experiment. I want to determine what a typical night out on the town is like for a gweesheen. For example, what kind of service does a gweesheen get in a restaurant or bar? How easy is it for a gweesheen to catch a taxi? Can a gweesheen pull easily? I hope to have the answers to these and many other questions after tonight. Stay tuned.

For the “fashion illiterate” among you (or those who forgot to check the seasonal fashion report), The Iceberg provides the following public service. If you are living in Korea and wish to be hip, this is the “in” look this fall/winter:

That’s right. Stripes are ripe. Just slip on that black and white striped shirt and you’ll be swingin’ with the cool crew. Have a look:

The more adventurous among you may wish to strut your individuality by going with the navy blue and white stripe look. Don’t push it though.

Solid! Er, no wait…nevermind.
