Transparent Korean Life Jacket for Nudists
A Korean company has manufactured a transparent lifejacket dubbed the “Zak Nudevest” that ensures both buoyancy and exposure for the discerning naked consumer.
Not as good as the orange equivalent for distance visibility, but I guess there’s no substitute for getting that male (or female) life guard’s attention.
Available for around $15.

Korean Picture Moment : Protesters in Support of the Renegotiation of the US Beef Import Deal
Protesters carrying an umbrella take part in an anti-government rally demanding the renegotiation of the US beef-import deal in front of Seoul’s city hall, on June 2, 2008.
South Korea will start quarantine inspections of US beef, which will lead to a full resumption of imports this week, for the first time since an outbreak of mad cow disease in the US in 2003.

Real Life Children’s Crayon Drawings
Korean photo artist Yeondoo Jung takes children’s crayon drawings and recreates them in the real world.
Jung apparently spent four months in kindergartens in Seoul and collected 1,200 drawings from five to seven year olds. He chose eighteen works of art for the Wonderland project and brought them to life with the help of high school students and fashion designers.
See more examples of the Wonderland project below..
