This amusing photo
came around on social media a while ago:
But it got me to
thinking about the place I lived in Seoul—a complex of 12 six-story apartment
buildings (half with indoor toilets; none with elevators). The play area was
behind my building. It consisted of a sandbox and a slide. The slide was in the
shape of an elephant:
And the entire thing
was made of concrete, including the elephant’s-trunk slidy part. Unpolished
concrete. If it had ever been painted, that had long since been worn away by
little butts.
Not so bad in winter,
of course, but in summer…
Well, as you can see,
the kids didn’t seem to mind about it. In fact, they very seldom bothered with
the actual steps.
And if they’d still
had the box it came in, I’m sure they’d have had a grand time playing in that,
as well.
