The Street Market

This is a market near our house. They rotate locations every week but they seem to stay within a mile radius. There are about 50 different vendors-- all selling the same thing. Here you can see a bowl of live squid. Yes, the live stuff is a "delicious" delicacy. I wish I had a video of it moving.... next time!




You can also see some crab, clams, sting ray, and about 20 bowls of different kinds of kimchi.

These people are really healthy, other than the social chain smoking that's considered upper-classy. Of course, that's only for the men. Women don't smoke in public or they're considered to be the scum of the earth. They go to bars or internet cafes to smoke.... much more classy.

All the "fresh seafood" reminds me of the time we went in a Chinatown market in San Francisco. Andy & Dave wanted to see how the crabs felt. The crabs moved when they touched them!!
Have you tried the squid blah blah blah yet?
Didn't see any poultry.
What an adventure you are having? How courageous you both are!!
Love ya! Mom & Dad
