The Market

It's a lazy and rather warm Saturday afternoon here in Seosan. Lance and I have just arrived home from the market with a bushel full of veggies.  Our haul included some cucumbers, tomatoes, garlic and some tiny apples as well as some freebie onions an ajumma gave us for good luck. It was a fairly successful venture. We took some photos so you could see what a traditional market looks like in South Korea.

Lunch. Meals for both of us cost $9. This is a kimbap restaurant, which is the closets thing Korea has to diners. The food is cheap and delicious and they're usually open 24/7. 

My favorite subject to take pictures of are cute Korean children. 

At the market you'll find a lot of fish, some dried and some very very fresh. These guys were still alive when I took the picture. 

They also have a nice selection of butchers at the market, mostly to sell pork and a little bit of beef. 

Dried Sting Rays. Yum.

This is the fish lady's kitten. He just likes to hang out by the fish and get lots of petting. 

I don't know what these guys are, but they look like mini cthullu's to me. 

Ajumma and he grandson sharing something delicious.

These are succulents and they're surprisingly popular in our area.
