- So there I was, enjoying my first day on the beach soaking in some rays and playing Frisbee catch with Dooley. The bright pink Frisbee immediately captured the attention of many a Korean-passerby (especially young children and Korean businessmen). I spent the next two hours teaching a 2-year-old little girl how to toss the disk that I’m now convinced could solve all the world’s problems. Debating over inflated oil prices? Throw a Frisbee. Fearful of Iran’s nuclear capabilities? Throw a Frisbee. Throughout the two hour Frisbee tossing event, hundreds of Koreans from age 2 to 82 smiled, laughed, and joked with a couple hicks from Kansas, who had no idea what anyone was saying. Life here is just a little different.
