A few Seoul-ful thoughts

Hardy, harr, harr. I know it's cheesy...go ahead and groan. Here are some random things I saw and things I thought as I roamed about Namdaemun yesterday. Namdaemun is a giant indoor/outdoor market within walking distance of Colleen and Nathaniel's apt.
- I saw a young boy lopping off fish heads. I don't believe I've ever seen fish head lopping before.
- I saw some awesome displays of kimchi and chili peppers. That orangish-red color is so attractive to me. I don't know why. I wanted to ask the woman about the different kinds of chili, but alas, I don't speak any Korean.
- Apparently, it is perfectly acceptable for older women to push you out of the way here. I have a hard time accepting this.
- I also had an unidentified fried substance on a stick. It tasted kind of fishy. I think it was some sort of fish paste something with veggies.
Gee... that sounded really exciting, didn't it? Maybe I'll have something more exciting for you tomorrow.
Until then...
