I am torn with this picture, to be completely honest. These statues are quite large, and when I first saw them I was a bit scared. Not to sound completely politically incorrect, but little people scare me. This is much worse: tall people scrunched down to look like they are little. The effect, if I am able to explain it correctly, is that they are pushed down, like an accordion, to give the impression that they are far off in the distance when in reality they are right in front of you. These statues are located right in front of the Seoul Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of my favorite places in Seoul, especially the area around the museum. Many people were taking pictures of these statues, for good reason, as there is a special exhibit on statues taking place at the Seoul Met. As much as I love this museum, I am always dissuaded in going because patron etiquette is lacking in Korea, which makes a visit less than enjoyable. The key, though, is to go during the week and not on holidays or in the afternoon on the weekends. Eh, nothing really funny about today's post, but that's just how it is.
