So Skinny. So Pretty.

Asian Girls.
They are so tiny,
so fashionable,
so polite,
and so conservative.


EunJi (one of the girls studying at Utah State--pictured above) told me that some of her friends don't eat after 4 pm just so they can stay skinny. The girls here in Korea are tiny! They can't weigh more than 100 pounds, nor are they any taller than 5'7".

The other day, when I was the Everland (a theme park here in Seoul), I saw a girl who looked to be 14 years old. She was so skinny and had white makeup on her face. Apparently here in Asia, to be pale and white is beautiful. I watched this girl for about 20 minutes as we were waiting in line for a ride, and she kept opening up her makeup case and checking herself out every few minutes. She also looked incredibly uncomfortable in her 4 inch heels and baggy clothing waiting in line in the heat of the day.

I was told that girls here get plastic surgery to have their eyes opened wider.

Also, I just want to add this: every girl here either does a peace sign or covers part of her face by gently setting her hand on her face while getting a photo taken. Pretty cute.
