The traffic policemen















The "Korean Cultural Centre UK", conveniently located on one of London's main tourist drags, presumably for Korean tourists and the weirdos completely and totally obsessed with all things Korean. Like the pasty white guy who greeted me at the door (yes I went in), who looked like the guy in the bathroom at the beginning of Sixth Sense - you know who I'm talking about.

I asked about these disturbing mannequins they had standing around, staring off out the windows and directly at you as you walked in.

"Ah yes, they are policemen."
....."Oh. Do they... represent something?"
"They are traffic policemen."
She said, as if that changed everything. Then she walked away.
