So weve all run across this geezer in the won right. Anyone know him? I asked him if he knew there was an army base 15 minutes down the road and he said thats why he's there.

Convictions!


GGGRRRRRR why doesnt this bloody picture show up.

Frustration!

Here's another one

I wonder who is chalking up more browny points with the big cheese?


Actually i would probably have to be the dude with the trumpet and the sound system right, purely based on the fact the he's going to get more of an audience. Well also because his message isn't anywhere near as offensive as his waygook buddys.

You need to resize your avatar. I'm sure we're all as excited as you are about the spectacle of a crazy street preacher, but no one wants 45% of the screen width reduced because of it. Your new mantra should be: "I will not be more annoying than the crazy Christian man in Itaewon." Repeat that ten times.

He must do something to support himself. I always figured people like that were jobless and/or homeless. I wonder what he does to make money. I've never seen anybody pay him any attention. He's just a part of the Itaewon scenery.

I wonder if his presence cuts down on any of Burger King's business (people not wanting to walk past him and all)...

And you didn't have to say that at all. Look at us, throwing away words like they're free! Shocked

I've seen him in church at Youido a couple of times.

I've gotta' say one good thing about him though...

A few weeks back, me and a number of LiNKers (http://www.linkglobal.org/) were fund raising in the "Twon. The other guys approached him as he walked by and asked him if he was willing to help by buying a shirt (15,000won). He said "sure" gave 20,000 and said, "don't worry about the shirt or the change, just give it to those who need it."

I thought that was quite cool of him.

I haven't seen him for a while, maybe he's gone home......I've always wondered if he was uber religious when he came over or if he arrived in Korea perfectly normal and something happened to him here that made him 'see the light'.

Well, Korean christians can be pretty evangelistical. Didn't 700 of them just got thrown out of a middle-eastern country?
