Koreanized

Today I had to take some passport-type photos for a tourist visa that I need for my upcoming trip to Shanghai. Anyway, there's a fairly strict look to strive for in these pictures -professional dress, closed-mouth smile, and hair pushed back behind the ears. So, I wasn't expecting glamor shots or whimsical candids by any means. However, upon receiving the finished product, I had a good chuckle. The photographer had whitened my skin so much that I did a double-take. Essentially, there are no shadows whatsoever on my new face, and my nose has all but disappeared -just two nostrils left behind! See for yourself:
