Another outdoor department store Christmas display, this one at Lotte Department Store in my neighbourhood: Nowon-gu. I don't know about anyone else, but when I think Christmas, large, white woodland creatures are not the first thing that comes to mind. In fact, they are about as obscure to me as the Christmas armadillo from Friends.
In other news: Today is Election Day! No more election trucks! No more campaign dancers! No more subway cheerleaders! Hooray! Yesterday over lunch, one of the Korean teachers asked me if I would be voting today. Somehow I don't think that'd fly, but it led to an interesting conversation among my friends later in the evening over galbi and wine (today is a holiday after all). We've decided that we'd like to be able to cast one traditional vote, and one "anti" vote. So, it'd be like an election of who's least disliked where the "winner" would come out with only -26 votes compared to -732,480 votes. Potentially. The only limiting factor would be that I'd personally like to cast three "anti" votes in the Korean presidential election against candidates 1, 2 and 6, all of whom have had their trucks parked outside on the street for the last three weeks. In the end though, I think candidate 2 is going to win, he had the biggest speakers afterall.
