A somewhat traditional Korean house. This is outside of 대전 (Daejeon) during our tour of a village. Notice the mud bricks and how large they are.

명동 Myeongdong 明洞

A small, shopping area at the foot of Namsan. I am told that it was a center of Japanese commerce during the colonial period. Now, Japanese tourists flock here to buy consumer goods. If you enjoy neon, hawkers, crowds and consumerism, Myeongdong is the place for you!

갈비 (Galbi) is a popular food in Korea. "Galbi" means "rib." Back home, we might just call it Korean BBQ. In most places in Korea, including butcher shops, beef and pork are very expensive, but also very delicious. Does this mean that it is a higher-quality than most American meat? I'm not sure, but I'd like to think it is better for you than our corn-fed livestock.
