Although there were a lot of things that were familiar in South Korean, there were a lot of things that I hadn't seen before. Here are my favorite distinctly Korean sightings:
These street vendors were everywhere. The first night in Korea some members of our group ordered something, and the vendor handed them a long skinny black tube-shaped food. We are 90% sure it was stuff intestine. Photo by Erin Chapman.
A typical Korean spread. Apples in Cream, Kimchi, bulgolgi, anchovies, quail eggs, sweet potato noodles, some unidentified black sauce, and potato cakes. Photo by Erin Chapman.
100% Asian toilet. Note to posterity: If the bathroom as a remote, don't push the buttons. Photo by Erin Chapman.
Outside of the Buddhist temple people buy these lanterns and hang them up with a message or wish attached to them. Apparently a common wish for parents to write is "Yonsei University." Photo by Erin Chapman.
