Everything intrigues me in this small (a mere 14 million people) town!
*Tanks of fish line the streets to buy...eels, crabs with spikes, sharks!!!
*Kimchi (the big veggie of choice, it's like cabbage soaked in a pepper sauce) is not only the staple, it's infused into everything...every meal has kimchi, the streets smell like it, so do the subways and every Korean's breath.

(Here are the peppers found on most roofs to add to the kimchi and in those brown pots is kimchi soaking in the peppers.)
*Koreans brush their teeth constantly...my friend Anna would fit right in!
*Koreans have the ability to poop while squatting and wearing pants...this mystifies me!
*Pizza is gift wrapped in a pretty bow and comes with sweet pickles and hot sauce.
*The Koreans who give me the dirtiest looks are wearing shirts with English sayings.
*Koreans can squat for insanely long periods of time, but I have noticed many elders are severly hunched over.
*The subways have no A.C. and are constantly packed with people...and every station looks different! (A post on subways will come.)
*Every store says they "give me discount" but I have no idea why or if they really are giving me a discount because there are rarely prices posted.
But, this is an interesting place. Right now I'm having a hard time, but I'm founding outlets to enjoy myself. Before I came to the PC bang I took a long walk around...every street holds a new experience...you go from big city to the ghetto in a matter of seconds! I really wanted to find this park that is supposedly close to my apartment, no luck yet (hence the really long walk)!!!
Anyways, I must be off...didn't bring much moolla for internet. I'm leaving you with a happy thought...or add rather that I found in the subway! Use your imagination...
