Yes, flesh colored pants painted to your physique, when did this become a good idea? I feel borderline immoral posting this picture, but my task when writing this blog was to show people real things people are wearing over here, and folks this is as real as it gets. I spotted this man standing in line for the Pirate ship ride at the local amusement park (and yes, he did come dressed like this to the amusement park). It actually wasn't his pants that caught my attention, but his John Travolta hairdo circa Saturday Night Fever that he and his buddy were sporting, but I decided in this case the pants were worth sharing. I feel as if I am doing this man and other tight pants wearing Koreans a giant injustice by not telling them their bums are highly visible, much like the way someone tries to politely tell you when there is something green caught inbetween your teeth. When it comes to pants, men in Korea (although this list is appliciable to all) should abide by 3 basic rules:
1. If you size 2 girlfriend has larger pants on then you, perhaps you should go up one size.
2. If you need to lay on a bed and/or apply baking grease to your thighs in order to button said pants, perhaps you should go up one size.
3. Leisure suits died in the 1970's, let's keep them there.

#4 Dressing Your Children Like Grandparents
Have you ever experianced the awkward sitution when an older adult tries to have you guess their age? The question is usualy posed "How old do YOU think I am?" To eliminate the chance of guessing too old and possibly offending or insulting said older adult, you choose to lowball the age as to offer the most seemingly sincere compliment the universe has ever heard since someone told Michael Jackson his nose looked realistic. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would feel this same awkwardness when trying to guess a Korean childs age. This photo does this fashion trend no justice, one time I witnessed a 2 year old in a bow tie, black and white striped socks, Mr. Rodgers cardigan, sperry shoes and salmon colored chinos. It seems almost like a child is a type of fashion accesory rather then a little person who will at one point during the day spill food on their Burberry coat.
