Friday Fish Market

This is like Ramen but WAY better!


Nothing exciting happened for me on Friday. It was a chill day and we had dinner at home. Then we went to Bucheon Market so I could see what the fresh markets are like. WOW. I love fish but seeing so much fish and SMELLING so much made me want to gag. If you know me, you know I have a really sensitive sense of smell. It is so weird seeing TONS of fish right across the walkway from clothes stores. I mean, all the clothes must smell like fish. Definitely have to wash them when you get home. (Oh! Did I mention there are NO clothes dryers in Korea? You wash and then hang dry everything. The places you can get dryers are really expensive and apparently don't really dry the clothes anyway. )

need hair/beauty products? take your pick!

minnows! get them now!

mm.. fishes. ew.



At the market I was able to score several new set of stationary!! I absolutely love the paper here, it is cute and the envelopes are amazing.. besides the fact that you have to tape or glue them shut. hehe. I also bought some amazing socks because I have a sock fetish. We bought a watermelon because they looked so tasty. When we got home we cracked it to eat but something doesn't taste right to me. I can't explain it. It's just not a taste that I really enjoyed.

the lady was "bagging" the melon for us.

in the elevator, she is SUCH a camera hog


Anyway, at the market we were strolling around and something horrible caught my eye. PIG HEADS! I turned my head to the left so I didn't have to look and then there were some on the left side too. By this point I was shaking and crying. There was a time in my life when I didn't eat pork or ham because all of a sudden I realized it actually came from a pig. I might be entering back into that zone! We had to walk past them again to get out and I snapped a photo. If anyone has any idea why a person would actually want a pig head, let me know!
yeah - DISGUSTING!

in the cab home - the cool castle like building

another city shot! (cabbies drive like maniacs and have to slam on the breaks ALL the time)

It's blurry but I love it. buildings are awesome.
