I was at a bar the other night - Gimme 5 in COEX. Just finished watching a fight bout and was talking with the people I was with. Announcer comes on. Blah balh blah blah blah transgender blah blah blah. We stopped our converstaion and looked at each bemused. Did they just say that? We checked with someone who worked there. Yes. The transgenders were performing.

Quite entertaining. In the dark, you you needed to double check, due to the bodies and the hair. Lights on, no problem distinguishing the men from the boys.

If you want to sample something different, go and check it out. Beer is dear though. 22k for a pitcher.



This is Witney Houston. A very scarey man thing!!

If you are curious about seeing that in person, just check out hooker-hill in Itaewon on the way up to Polly's Kettle.

I think sometimes the Korean's call drag queens Transgenders. I have been hanging out at a gay bar here in Kwangju and there is a guy there who is legitamitely transgendered. He is a women. I am not saying that the korean drag queens wouldnm't be fun to watch but I think that the people who are performing only perform on stage as a woman and live their lives as men.

Itaewon is the Mecca for Korea's "lady boys".

These were transgenders. Not drag queens. 100% sure about that.
