Sometimes all it takes is a ticket back home to clear these things up.

Gotta be the music. Though the fashions can be silly, what straight male can argue with this:

I like all three actually. But you do know that the fashions here actually make their way here from places like Japan and Europe, huh?

The food - gochjang in everything to cover up the bad taste.
The beer & coffee here is undrinkable.
Thank God red wine is still cheap.

Where on Earth did you come from that makes you think red wine is cheap in Korea!!!??? It's twice or three times more exensive than Europe.

Costco - French wine - case of 6 bottles = 22,000 won Very Happy
Not the best tasting, but it gets the job done. Tastes way better than Korean beer or soju.

That's not saying much though.

What bad taste is there to cover up? Food here has the same basic ingredients as anywhere. Fresh vegetables, meat, and seafood. Damn fresh seafood actually.

Anyway, I'll go with the fashion as a lot of menswear here is crap. So much of the clothing has a lot of unnecessary flourishes too.

.... who never grew up past the kindergarten phase. 'I love this shirt. Put it on. Oooohhh I love this skirt. Put it on. I love this scarf Oh this one too. Put them both on." Does anything go together? No. "Who cares."

Things don't always have to be all matchy-match though. That is old school granny style, thinking everything has to match. You shouldn't wear all the colors of the rainbow at once either, but being all matchy-match is for grannies. It's just like that crap about how you can't wear white after labor day. That's also old school ajumma/granny thinking. Fashion is supposed to be fun, and I like how here in Korea, at least they know how to be fun with it.

By the way, I'd wear all those outfits in SirFink's picture. Especially, the pink/green combo and the outfit in the middle. Pink and green don't MATCH, they COMPLEMENT each other. That is the key to modern fashions. Those gals look fab!!
