Day 14: The Sight of a Thousand Lifeless Bodies

It took Jean and I about an hour and a half to get there. it was far outside the city where the rent was cheap and the noises wouldn't disturb. As the aroma overcame me, KyuSeuk said, "and if you look in that room, you'll see the limbs." The dark liquid was splattered on the wall and covered the floor, making it almost impossible to walk on without getting it on your shoes; the carving instruments hanging on the wall, shining as if they had done a good job. we walked from room to room observing the master's work while shouting over the heavy machinery that transported the lifeless bodies. The warehouse was the most surprising, with the thousands, standing in rows, yet not a breath in their structures. It was very interesting how the mannequin business worked, and a little creepy to say the least.
After the tour, KyuSeouk took us out to lunch to eat some Shabu-Shabu (this was the 3rd day in a row that i had eaten this... its becoming a very popular dish here i guess - but becoming less popular every time i eat it each day in a row) and we talked shop. We talked about how successful a mannequin business from Korea would be in the states. I shot him some of my business ideas and he gave me some connections of people he knew in korea that could give me a good start. (maybe even financial backing...KyuSeuk is a high roller, so i'm guessing that his friends are high rollers too.) then we hiked back to the bus stop and gave the driver 2000 won (which is about $2.00) to get us back to the city. Jean and i both fell asleep and woke up a few stations farther away than our destination. Jean was running out of time before he had to go practice his driving at the driving school, but we both made time for some Dunkin' Doughnuts.
