I was delighted to discover yesterday that the astronomical price of broccoli in South Korea has gone down. Hooray. It used to cost $4 for a head of broccoli half the size of one in Canada. Now, my favourite vegetable only costs about $2 for the same amount. I'm goin' to be green with energy while this wonder of a veg is in season. I hope you Canadians know how lucky you are. Koreans seem to consider mass quantities of vile radish, various indescribable grasses (probably snipped from the lawn out back) and bizarre looking "twigs" to be vegetables. It's a bleeding shame, I say.
I went to Mokpo yesterday on my "vacation" day from work. My school seems to consider a day off due to scheduling conflicts to be a "vacation" day for us...even though it's a Thursday. If you ask anyone about Mokpo they will tell you that there's nothing there and it's the place you go to when you want to catch the ferry to Jeju-do (Honeymooner Island). We went up a small mountain and saw many pagodas and "bauis" (rocks) along the way. It was scenic but very frustrating as our maps were second-rate and basically lied to us. Then we went to the "beach" which was literally (LITERALLY) 20 metres of sand in the middle of a wharf. It was so bad it's comical. I'll post the pics as soon as I get them. I still have to get a cable so that I an charge my new camera. sigh.
