Am I the Last Person in America to Have Learned about Won Park?

The master folder of origami who lives in a garbage truck?

I hope so.

UPDATE

Too good to be true. Maybe. (Because the internet is totally unreliable, you can't trust a retraction any more than the original assertion. So let's just remain cautiously optimistic until we get some real proof, shall we?)

Everything about this is wonderful. I'm forwarding the link to help wipe out Won-Park-Ignorance.

"I have deleted the pictures of the renovated garbage truck after finding out through a friend of Won Park's that he does not live there. Apparently it is some kind of rumor and those pictures are not where Won lives."

or this:

"Hello,

Won Park here, There has been an email going around the internet and it says that I live in a Garbage Truck that has been converted in to an RV.

I find it very funny because I live in Honolulu, Hawaii.

I have a one bedroom Apt. I wish I could travel around in a RV and not pay rent. That would be fun.

Won Park"

Somebody should research these things before posting.

The origami is for real. Brilliant stuff.

The camper is a bit more problematic. It's definitely not made from a garbage truck: And, as noted above, Won Park doesn't have one.

That is a Unimog isn't it? I guess it looks a bit like a garbage truck but it is in fact the SUV to end all SUVs. It is my dream travel vehicle (just not fancy like the one pictured).
