Amazing things - #6 - Slimliner for slim legs

Amazing Things - #6

WFT - Was my first reaction when I saw this...

I initially thought it was an orthopaedic device. Maybe to straighten out those bandy legs. (You know those people who couldn't catch a pig in an alley!)

However this 'Amazing thing' - is to make your legs slimmer!

 I have NO idea how it works  ~ but she looks happy and comfortable enough...

Gyeonggi-Do Education Office apps

I have several apps on my school computer that are mandatory as directed by the Gyeonggi-Do Office of Education.  

App 1 Shows me and presumably helps me to use less power and there for save CO2.  It is a nice looking app and I am not sure - but I think it puts the password lock on my PC and  puts the screen to sleep, quicker than the original settings - But I may this is in my imagination and desire that the app actually does something so that it is not just increasing the processor activity and therefore, using more power....




App 2 forces me to print with a saving of 12% or has saved me 12% costs of printing- This was 5 % when it was first installed so maybe my understanding of this app is wrong...

App 3 Is a Privacy and security app that is supposed to protect sensitive information coming from my computer and leaking to the outside world...



English words on T-shirts...

In a previous post about a racist t-shirt a kid was wearing in class I talked about the nonsensical English that gets put on T-shirts...


Here is a fine example.....

Next week and Posts on Seoul Ambition

Next week is a very important week for me - I am blogging about it, but won't publish the posts until afterwards.. maybe a few weeks afterwards....

Thanks for checking in...

There will, of course continue to be posts about "Amazing things!" every Friday (now in it's 4th Week) and the usual sporadic rambling.

2 posts I have not finished writing yet are one on One year Birthday's in Korea, and one on my son's Birthday - which happened yesterday... So I am writing more, albeit... still slowly

Also this week I know that some people have visited my blog.
I leaked the URL out on facebook after I realised I post stuff on facebook that would make good posts here.

I have been poking this blog every now and then for 2 years My first post was on Friday 20th May 2011 and I have managed a total of 137 posts (that is 5 a month AVG.) but I want to write it as a record for my family (at least)...

Racist slogans and English words on t-shirts.

Sorry if this offends any Irish people, I do not condone racism in any form...

A 6th grade girl, in one of my classes, had a T-shirt on today which said on the back>>>>>>


This takes nonsensical English words on T-shirts in Korea, to another level>>>

A racist T-shirt that the wearer has no idea what it means...

I would love to know how that ended up being on sale in Korea... Usually these t-shirts are mass produced in China and shipped around the world and usually feature words such as Acid Jazz, Happy banana or something misspelt - or as previously posted - "I want to make love to you in New York" -  equally inappropriate for an 11 year old girl...

It is undoubtedly just a copy and, like the wearer, the producers probably also have no idea what it means!

Do people still tell jokes about the Irish?  When I grew up I heard a lot... I guess now people pick on other races...
