Day 29: Hollowed Out of Control

I had a friend yesterday, upon viewing my blog, say that this blog was dedicated to strange English in Korea. It wouldn't necessarily be a farce to say that a lot of what it has become includes strange English, but just so I am not accused of thinking only Koreans have strange English, let's point out the strange English of others while at the same time praising their inventiveness. This picture was taken outside what of the coolest looking restaurants I've ever seen; quite the architectural masterpiece, especially considering the rather dull residential neighborhood it sits in. UTSov, an Indian Restaurant with authentic Indian Cuisine, or at least that's what they boast of. The food is quite good, albeit a bit pricey, but it was this rather interesting sign out front that caught my eye. This is actually a slab of the building, because to the left is more wall, but to the right is the entrance. They simply chiseled out the letters, completely, from the concrete to make the name. There is another sign close by telling you the cuisine, but if this is all you see one's first inclination is to think the following: What, pray tell, is UTSov? If anyone has the answer, there is free dinner at this place in it for you (that is, if you are currently living in Seoul or will be visiting within the next month or so).
