two squid arms and a side of fries juseyo

in myung dong in seoul there are all kinds of street vendors selling jewelry, hats, clothes, etc. i got a pair of wool gloves that are super warm for super cheap. there are also food stands selling things like french fries and 4 foot long squid tentacles to go.

saturday i went to jebudo island on the west coast about an hour away from suwon. it's most known for the mussels you can get in the mud flats when the tide is out. from the main land you can take a bus out for 1,000 won or you can walk the 2 kilometers to the island. we chose to walk as it wasn't too cold. right now you have to leave the island by 4pm or be prepared to stay the night because the tide comes up over the road and they shut it down.

at the end of the island are the remains of an elevated piece of land that has been whittled down by the sea to these big boulders. as you walk out to them you are walking on their crumbled bits. i'd like to see them when the tide comes up and they shoot out of the water. maybe i'll go back in the summer or something.
