July 24, 2008: Beat the Heat

From Boston.com, this heat beating tip from Korea.

Quote:
People swim to avoid the heat in a swimming pool in the Everland amusement park in Yongin, about 50 km (31 miles) south of Seoul


They may be cooling off, but they sure as hell ain't swimming.

Seems to me, I've seen this picture before, but can't remember where??

Beat the Heat

The fecal coliform pool replaces the fecal coliform ball pit at McDonalds

"The presence of fecal coliform bacteria in aquatic environments may indicate that the water has been contaminated with the fecal material of man or other animals." (Wiki)

"Does the water really turn purple, if you pee?"

Wait a minute...

I remember a pic of a pool in Tokyo...
It is actually a wave pool:

Man, with that many people, I'd require lifevests on everyone too. But I don't get the hats...

Maybe the hats are to prevent other people's flailing arms from grabbing fistfuls of hair?

There's never a Snickers bar around when you really, really need one.

Does that one guy in the bottom of the first picture have a mouthful of water?

Or maybe he's about to .

Bring to a boil and add vegetables. Reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes. Season to taste.

That's not a water park! That's a street in Seoul, suddenly flooded by rising sea levels! Quick, everyone, PANIC! The end is NIGH!

It's probably just a wad of dip.

That first picture is cropped to show only the people in the wave pool in that narrow band of space where they are able to touch the bottom but still experience the wave's full force. I bet it's much less crowded off to the right where it gets deeper and a little less crowded off to the left, where it gets shallower. But I bet lots of kids are off to the left playing in the shallow end.
