Tall Tales From A Short Canadian

namaste,

Yesterday, we stirred up the monotony with a visit to Bexco and it’s Star Wars exhibit… Geek Paradise! It was pretty cool. I particularly liked the costume designs, and would really like to get my hands on some Jedi threads. The conceptual drawings were very good, too. The exhibit included a few life size crafts (mostly the small little speeder ships), life size costumes, and an array of sound effects blasting out of speakers. It was, ultimately, 12 bucks and an hour well spent. We managed to bumble into a few other spectator events, too. Here are a few touristy pics from this saturday, and the saturday before.

Elderly Koreans watching some kind of traditionalish performance outside of Bexco. They don’t like the sun here.

Nicole having a go at Darth Vader. Her lightsabermanship was pretty weak, I thought. She remained in the above position for the entire duel!

It really was like visiting old friends! Hi guys! Star Wars changed my life, shaped me, made me who I am!

I always had a soft spot for the jawas. Some kids had teddy bears. Some had cabbage patch kids. I had a jawa.

Above, Jedis Tabitha and Nico… Doesn’t that just make you feel that the galaxy is a safe place after all?

No, it’s not a Star Wars costume!

Yeah, don’t let that cuteness fool you. He’s a monster in training. Read previous post for my perspective on Korean parenting.

You’re never safe from the all-seeing eye.

An ajuma looks puzzled and bedazzled by the exotic hunkiness before her…

I managed to grab a few photos of the dancers below at the subway station while Nicole suffered from food poisoning in the bathroom nearby. Oh, the price of living large and eating out all of the time!

And I’ll shut ‘er down with a sunset pic taken from our old apartment.

OUT,
