"This one is good for pat people."

"For what?" we asked.
"Pat people. You know. Large size."

No, we're not talking discussing clothing with the shopkeeper. We were discussing oils that you burn to make your room smell nice. Apparently grapefruit is good for fat people, and since one of the people I was with is a little larger than most, the lady recommended that one. People definitely get credit for their honesty here - whether or not that's a good thing, that's still to be determined.

Finally made it to this Chagall show I've been wanting to go to. We tried to go yesterday and were told on the phone, "Please do not come. The line is over 500 meters long, please do not come." When we went by anyway just to see, they were not lying. So we went early this morning and by the time we got out, the line was at least 1/2 a mile long - no joke. The museum started selling the show catalogues outside because people began to realize they might not get in.

Went exploring here and there after we got out of the show and didn't know what to do. Here are a couple of things we found:



What you see walking towards a subway station near my house. (Yes, it does look exactly like what you're thinking.)



What the front actually looks like.



This guy carves wooden plaques with Korean poetry and sayings in front of one of the palaces downtown. If you look at his where his right hand would be, he lost it in a car accident when he was little and now secures a hammer to it so he can hit the knife in his left hand to carve out the characters.



One of the finished products.

Yay for finally getting drawers to put my clothing in as well. I know my room looks like a disaster anyway, but I'm trying to get better. Having drawers instead of suitcases is a good start.
