a tourist is an ugly human being

I'm now in Hamdeok Beach, a small tourist growth just East of Jeju City. I am a tourist. We are tourists. 'I'm not a tourist I live here' -sister 'you don't live here' -me It's hard to get lost. On one side of us there is a volcano. On the other side is the sea. I tried to get lost one night riding my scooter but it didn't work. 'too bad' -sister We have fans here. They're all really excited we're here. Everywhere we go it's 'we love you', 'where are you from', 'beautiful eyes'. Or they just stare at my hairy legs. 'in adoration' -sister Being a tourist is fun. All we do is scooter around in search of suitably ironic t-shirts. We also do silly things, like wear hip scarves and sunglasses at night. Here are some pictures.

no, a tourist is an ugly human being. A plastic figurine of Kim Jong Il is an ugly thing.
