At Olympic Park, we saw flowers:
Per my previous blog entries.....readers can see that we spent considerable time over in the Jamsil area discovering numerous tourist treasures! Olympic Park was no different. There were so many amazingly beautiful things to see at Olympic Park and it wasn't until we were leaving that Teppy discovered a GLARING flaw (only if you are a bit OCD) in the design of Olympic Park. Before we divulge that flaw, let's talk about some of the awesomeness of the park first. At Olympic Park, we saw flowers: We saw maps: We saw fast food American style! We saw SUPER thorough signage: And......we saw Charlie's Angels. Oh wait, that's us. And we saw clean, spacious parking lots! But Teppy was the true Sherlock of the visit. I don't notice things like what Teppy noticed, and even if I did, I don't think it would have bothered me. Well, it bothered Teppy. Alot. So much to the point that she made me stop and we had to have a discussion about it. I had to put on a thinking cap, pull out a notepad and pencil, and develop theories as to the how and why something like this could have happened in the design of an Olympic Park. Ok, that didn't really happen, but we did have a serious pow wow about it. And we shot a video of it . Here is a photo. See if you can see the problem: Still can't see the problem? Yeah, it's kind of hard to see because the angle at which I took the photo. I should have been standing in line with the green strip of grass. Have a look at the video below for full effect: So there you have it. A design flaw. The people who designed the park failed to line up the entrance boulevard with the center of the stadium, thus throwing off the feng shui of the entire layout of Olympic Park. Teppy's OCD or whatever you want to call noticed that things were mis-aligned and it interrupted her consciousness until she had to discover exactly WHAT was eating at her. To any other visitors to the park who are just like Teppy and need lines and balance and symmetry in their lives, this flaw will JUMP out at you too, gnawing at your brain, causing your eyes to twitch as you stand there looking up at the giant structure. To the rest of us folks who don't give a rat's behind about symmetry because other things tend to occupy our thoughts and obsessions, we will simply walk by and say "Oh, what a lovely path lined by trees and flowers."
