FOR HAVING TOO MUCH FUN!
In this pic the Maritime Police landed on the beach to show off
their cool hovercraft. Pretty nice guys actually. This sucker
will do 100Km/h.
Deady beach snake freaked out a lot of campers.
Be there no place so humble
"Cups" was played A LOT on this trip.

| Impressive Hovercraft, now if only the traffic police could have patrol cars with more than 80 horsepower. |

I was going through Incheon when I saw hundreds of foreigners stood beside the road trying to get taxis. Was that it? About a week ago in the evening?
Get the bus next time, is my advice. There are green busses going often, to seoul, from the nearby bus station. They go every 20 minutes or so. |

| I believe that's a Korean trouser snake. I heard they have been increasing in size lately. While not deadly, it is widely known that they have a tendency to strike inebriated ajummas as well as men crouching down to pick things up, like a bar of soap. |

yes, they have evolved to meet international size standards after eating better gimchi for 50 years
PS Its called a Tiger Keelback Snake. Commonest snake in korea. While venomous, fatalities are extremely rare as it is back-fanged and normally cannot bite people. |

I saw one a lot like it a month and a half ago and I lunged to try to catch it, but it narrowly evaded me. Back-fangedness aside, I've made a mental note not to do that again. |

So why did the foreigners get arrested?
For showing off their snakes in public.
