Strange foods here…
Posted in Food, Korea, tagged Food, links, picture, strange on February 20, 2009 |
Since coming to Jeonju I have had a number of opportunities to try out a variety of what I consider to be strange foods. To help me explain some of these experiences I’ve added a few links to some other web sites… This is a great site covering Korean food here in Korea for non-natives: [...]
As a start to getting this blog moving again I am adding several videos concerning some of the vagaries of Korean food… The following video is all about something that I still consider to be genius (in essence a cabbage or lettuce taco!)

I have some pictures of the general area to the south of my apartment. This neighborhood is near the bus station I go to to commute to Gimje for work every weekday (the Express Bus Terminal).
