We have to apologize for the gap in updates. It seems that things got really busy here for about a week and a half.. but we are starting to get back on track. We have some things we want to share with you, so we will put them into a couple of different posts so you don't get information overload. It'll be like getting multiple presents on Christmas!
First, we wanted to share with you something that happens around our part of town every five days. In a lot of places there is a market that you can go to on any given day to get your veggies, fresh fish, pieces of cut up pig, squid, etc. But here, oh no, they have to be different. Here, they bring the market to YOU. There are these vendors that all they do is bring their market to a different part of town every day. One day it will be here, then the next it will be in another neighborhood and so on and so forth. Well, Jess and I have gotten used to it and we like to stroll through the market to see what kind of interesting things we can find. Here are a few samples:
Here are a few shots of the market itself.. a huge busy mess of old women and shoppers within a small city of tents. Craziness!
Fresh pork!
Mmm.. Kimchi, the Korean staple side dish- by the kilogram!
Slimy stingray looking fish, anyone?
This cowboy was selling ginseng tea ("You try, you try!") Maybe the nastiest stuff on earth.
Apetizing, eh?
We got 'em fresh, we got 'em cut up in pieces, and we got 'em dried. How do you like your squid?
I wondered out loud what these were as we passed. Some little girl who actually spoke English came by and told me they were worms. Yummy! Found out later, they are silk worms to be exact.
