The Law of Gravity in Korea
|For some reason in Korea the laws of gravity just do not apply to odashi. Take for example the picture to the right. Odashi can just drive around with two cars piled on the back of his truck with minimum bracing with no fear of them falling over into the road. The same thing can be said for the thousands of Bongo trucks that drive around every day in Korea with oversized loads of everything from chickens, toilets, and furniture piled up in the back up to 12 feet hight with minimal ropes and bracing to hold it in place.
For whatever reason the stuff does not fall. You can actually see the loads swaying in the wind back and forth and yet they do not fall. Odashi will even pile propane tanks on the back of little motorcycles that drive all over the sidewalks and swerve to avoid pedestrians. Yet none of these propane tanks ever fall of the motorcycles. How does he do it? Is there some secret odashi gravity warping device on sale at E-Mart? If an American tried to pile the stuff on his truck like odashi does it would all fall over once the vehicle began moving. I don’t know what it is but the mystery of odashi’s gravity defying abilities.
