Why I Wear Glasses

This is me in one of the boats that Teddy's dad has been working on. He works in the boat yards in San Clemente, a small fishing and boat building town near us. Teddy is one of us, Death and Glory Crew.

I wear glasses, though I have very good vision, because we have very, very thick air on my home planet, Korea. It is so thick that we can't see more than a few miles, so we don't need distance vision. We can't see much distance. So when Wookies come to visit Earth they have to wear eye glasses or contact lenses. I have to wear glasses because I will be here for a whole year and contacts can only be worn by us for a month or so. If I were to move here I would have surgery on my eyes to make distance vision.

If you visit Korea you will not like seeing only a few miles but you will like the colors. We have more colors in our environment. I like seeing far here - it is so exciting that I don't miss the colorfulness at all. It is pretty here.
