Any trip to the supermarket, bar, club, restaurant, sidewalk (get the idea) in Korea was sure to include some kind of "Whooaa" experience, often just as obviously stated as your hoodie dude.

Perhaps Lindsay is comparable to the outskirts of Melbourne. I remember bringing my old housemate and his girlfriend to a church performance a few years back where they were the only Asian people out of the 400 odd who attended. The place was on the city fringe and, as you guessed, similar reactions ensued. Perhaps just not a blunt as "Whooaa".
