Pretty sure suwonfish posted that pic as a joke, Rick. Wig, chin, cheeck-bones = trap.


You have a good eye el3so.

A friend of mine was able to digitally enhace the picture to reveal what lay beneath the subtly applied makeup...

Haenyo

Postby suwon fish » Sat Feb 26, 2011 10:46 am

A little more on Haenyo. Japan and Korea have a long cultural history of lady divers, Koreans diving primarily for food and the Japanese ladies diving primarily for pearls.

Seeing these ladies now in their 60's, 70's and 80's (there are no more young Haenyo still working) it's hard to understand why they have such a sexual mystique in Korea. This archive picture from the Jeju Island Haenyo Museum shows the standard diving attire for Heanyos pre 1960's and also explains away some of the mystery ^^

99% of the time I'm underwater (in the sea) I am assessing student skills or leading tours for more advanced divers. Frankly, my job is to make sure everyone in my care gets back on the boat/beach alive and un-injured. This involves extensive preparation before entering the water and CONSTANT VIGILANCE when in the water. All too often it can be like herding kittens.

I sometimes think that you shouldn't make your passion your job as there is a danger of losing the magic you enjoyed. I dived for 17 years before I turned pro and I had much more bliss and much less stress in those days.

Whats your opinion of diving in the Red Sea? Easy Jet or one of the other cheapies outta LGW services Sharm and I am thinking of a 2 week dive trip. Worth it? I think the open water beginner course is 5 days and then you can go on week long tours.

Thank fuck you did not post a pic of that!


Don't worry Mr Shaw, I'm not coming out of the closet! It's just an American thing. If an American says he bums a lot of fags, he simply means that he ponces a lot of ciggies. If a Brit said the same thing it would mean he thouroughly enjoys "Ugandan practices".

I hope that cleared it up for you ^^

If I was a fag as you brits would have it, why would I be kissing this beautiful woman???

Games and pastimes

Postby suwon fish » Mon Feb 28, 2011 8:08 am

Jenga is a popular pastime in LOS (the land of smiles). An ice breaker and way to pass the time. You'll find it everywhere, taken to it's Nth degree.

Patong has it's own variant called Patong Game High. I have only ever seen this variation played in and around the Bangla Rd. Here it is... Notice the barmaid looking looking over the top like cira 1940's Kilroy grafitti!

Image

Giant Jenga can also be found, and it's probably called Giant Game High.

Image

Connect 4 is another game that has been taken to an olympic level in LOS. This lady is feeling the pain after I kicked her ass 5 straight times at Connect 4!
