I had to get up early today and do an errand in Hongdae. Aftwards, I met up with Kevin and Shaun at the Hamilton Pool around 10am when it opened. I arrived at the pool at 10:07am and there were at least ten other people there! Kevin wanted to come to the pool during the week because he says the weekends are packed. I can’t imagine what that would look like, since most empty spaces were full by noon. Reardon joined us around noon.
The pool at 10:30am - nice and quiet.
The pool around 1:00pm. Click on the photo to see the large size of this panorama.
These guys were interesting. Three tan Korean guys with lots of tatoos, wearing thongs! G-strings. Banana hammocks. Whatever you want to call them, it’s not right in any language. It makes a Speedo look like a padded bra - theres nothing left to the imagination with thongs! My small point and shoot camera couldn’t zoom so well, since they were on the other side of the pool. So, these are the best pictures I got.
In this picture, it looks like the guy on the right is naked. No, his ass was just hungry and decided to nibble on that thong he was wearing.
All in all, with it being my first time there, I had fun at the pool. Kevin also brought yummy sandwiches to share. This is Reardon thanking him by delicately putting sunscreen on his back.
Haha… I kid. Below is a video I took at the pool, to give you a better feel of the place. My toes make a cameo.

I’m just hoping that that’s a girl on all fours and not another guy. Otherwise I have issues….

Naked guy at the pool? Yikes. On the way home from work one day, I saw a pair of cops talking to a hobo, about seventy years old, who had his pants and underwear around his ankles, exposing himself as he tried to take a nap (pesky cops, disturbing his beauty rest!) Fortunately, the distance and angle at which I saw the whole thing prevented me from seeing any blurry bits, but what a thing to pass on the way home!

I like half naked guys. Or even really naked guys.
In my house.
Elsewhere, cover up!

I agree!

Maybe I’m wrong, but one of those guys looks like the owner of My thai (the thai restaurant in itaewon owned by the previously controversial (because of his sexual preference) korean actor). Am I wrong?

Ya the guy on the far left was the first Korean celebrity to “come out of the closet” I believe. Guess he brought a couple of friends to the pool with him. Only gay guys could pull off thongs at a public pool. You go girl!
