That Most American of Cities: Chicago?

When the world thinks of a quintessentially American city, which one do you think it thinks of?  New York?  Los Angeles?  How about Chicago?

This is the side of a Korean Air shuttle bus parked outside of the awkwardly-named Grand Ambassador Seoul Associated With Pullman Hotel in Seoul, South Korea.  The bus wrap is a big ad that boils down to "fly Korean Air to America."  And to represent America, there's a picture of the Chicago skyline.

Another reason for the city of big shoulders to stand proud and strong

Slice of Life: Signs and Symbols in Seoul

This sign at a park in Seoul, South Korea tells people what they can do, and what they can't do.  I can't read Korean, so I'll guess at what the symbols mean:

• Please walk your dog here
• Please take a sapling home with you
• Do not have bad breath
• Do not bring your office desk to the park and do work
• Do not light your farts on fire
• Hold your wife's hand while you walk
• Do not use the letter P when you speak
• Do not park on the grass

Now we're both experts in a language we don't understand.
