Konglish

More Konglish!

We haven't seen too much lately (our city is decent with English and when it's wrong it's usually just a misplaced letter), but these two beauties caught my eye.

This first one is a bank in downtown Gohyeon (the area of Geoje Island we live in).



Fresh Bank. Fresh Fish? In all fairness, they do have fish in their logo, but I don't think I'll be buying my fish there anytime soon. This one was fun, because I had to go in the middle of the road and stand between the lanes of traffic to get close enough for the detail. Just another day being a crazy foreigner.

This one I spied on another walk through downtown, on my way to pick up art supplies. I usually try to walk down different street, so I see new things. This place is called Tiara Hair Boutique.



A pretty standard list of services for a hair salon, but I'm dying to know what "magic" is.

A constant source of entertainment for both Neil and I are the flags of the world, which run all along the boardwalk along the harbor edge in Gohyeon. We notice a new mistake every time. This first picture we took during our first week here.



At first we just took the picture because we were proud Canadians. It wasn't until later that we realized, according to the sign, we were proud Canadians from "Northern South America".

And while waiting for my ferry to Busan two weeks ago we noticed that Brazil had moved to Eastern South Africa. Good thing we spotted that. Had we planned our trip to South America to visit Brazil we sure would have had egg on our faces.



Hope you're all doing well in Northern South America!
