shop, shop, shop... eat, eat, eat


We spent our first full day in Seoul shopping Markets here, malls there... capitalism is thriving here. Mrs. Lee,Young Sook showed us how to do it. There is some negotiating on prices, and no gratuity. Overall, things are fairly priced and though some things are expensive, they are not unreasonably so.

After a long hot day of spending, we were taken by Mr. Choi and Mrs. Lee to a traditional Korean barbecue. Our friend Dave from Madison came with. A friend of Mr. Choi owns a lodge in the mountains of Seoul. They had caught and killed a wild pig... I'm not sure if they hunted for it or if it was just unlucky enough to come on their property, but either way, we feasted on its flesh and drank Soju until late in the evening.

We were in the mountains, so there were lots of interesting flying things. This moth or butterfly was as big as my hand... we didn't eat it.
