T-Shirts

In Korea, it's very popular to have English writing on your clothing. It's all over. Actually, it's close to impossible to find clothing with Korean writing on it unless it's some sort of a uniform. However, the English they put on T-shirts doesn't always make sense. It often seems like they just found some quote from a song lyric or web page... and then spelled it wrong :). There's one store in Dangjin, called "Wellness," that is especially good for strange shirts. I'd compare it to Old Navy or something similar in the U.S. Jason picked up a couple shirts when he was here, one of which had a strange combination of French, German and Spanish written on it about a big buddha statue. Today I stopped there for a little shopping and came across a particularly fun shirt that I couldn't pass up. First off, in HUGE silver letters it says: "Chair." Underneath that are silhouettes of various styles of chairs and tons of little black words: "ALBANS WELLS YORK HEADACHES KENSINGTON OSTEOPOROSIS LEICESTER Coventry Canterbury Lichfield training stress management Lancaster therapies seated chelsea Peterborough health tpi professional Carlisle skin complaints association onsite energise Winchester." I have no idea what that's supposed to mean. :)
