So we went to the grocery store - always a favorite past-time...

Don't try to figure out what this means.  It is just a fun mis-translation. 

The soy sauce and pepper sauce aisle. 

And then there was a Spam aisle.

 (If you are curious about costs, 1000 Won ='s $1, and weights are in Kg. (2.2 lbs.), 

 or per hectogram (~ 3.5 oz.)  If you eat like a Korean, food is pretty inexpensive.  If you want to eat like a westerner, you will have to pay for it.  For example, a pint of heavy whipping cream is $4.79)

...And somewhere, I took a picture of an aisle of dried seaweed, but I can't seem to find it. 

Anyway - then of course we were off to the market.

The things in the foreground, which might be sea cucumbers, were alive.  No, I did not try them. 

Unique to Korea, these thorned sticks are used in fish and chicken broth.  

The sign list the medicinal benefits of the plant. 

The USDA would not put their stamp of approval on a lot of these eateries...

There are many places where one can have a hanbok made to order. 

 Everyone has one, and sometimes one sees someone about town in this beautiful traditional garb. 

Color, color, color.  This is SO not like Sweden.  

The most popular color in Sweden is black (which coincides with my wardrobe.) 

Kimchi etc., etc., etc.

I think this is all dried seafood and beans...

What an experience...
