Hate to burst your bubble, but they're sold everywhere Smile

I did like those ear-clip on alarms... when your head tips forward, it beeps... you clip it to your ear, and if you start to drift off to sleep while studying, it beeps loudly.

Nothing like sleep deprived attempts at route memorization!

Man I've been in Korea too long.

It's still funny though especially when you see some office workers out with their hogs on the weekend wearing these sleeves.....have never seen this back home yet. You'd get laughed off the street for these things back home. This sort of thing would be in the costume isle not in the display rack of your local motorcycle shop.

Anyone have any other funny stuff they've seen for sale?

That is true, but you probably wouldn't working at an office if you really had tattoos like that.

I'm sure a lot of people in the US would like to get piercings, tattoos, and other body modifications. However, most people in the US don't work as a bouncer at a strip club. How many doctors, lawyers, executives do you know with full arm Tattoos?

none, and they don't wear tattoo sleeves on the weekend either. I just think it's a little funny that Koreans see western culture in this way, as a costume to be worn on the weekend while playing the part of a biker. Not that we don't do that, but Asians seem to do this a little more. Its an interesting little thing. Like Japanese guys dressed up like cowboys, or the way they do goth, or those punks in Hongdae who look like they stepped right out of the late seventies with mohawks and tight black jeans. My all time fave are the guys who buy big cop Harleys and dress up like policemen. I keep waiting to find some guy who's dressed just like Erik Estrada from CHiPs.

I dunno, they look kind of more like Japanese gangster tats to me.
