Protective Coverings

You know when you buy a new watch or cell phone, and there is that clear film on the glass that is fun to peel off? Well, Koreans don’t peel it off. Of anything. They build and install industrial stoves, whole shelving units, bus stops without peeling off the protective film. What are they saving the steel and glass for?

Above is my souvenir from a shelf in the movie theater bathroom today. A sleek modern steel shelf, attached to the wall, and it was still covered in white plastic!

You know how they say not to save your good China for a special “someday”? Well, this is like using your China but keeping it wrapped in bubble wrap.

That’s episode 1 of KoreanKwerks. Stay tuned for more baffling oddities.
