Oddities and Observations

There are a few random things that we come across in our day to day lives that seem strange or funny at first, but we get used to them very quickly. So I thought I would share some of these things on this blog, first and foremost for our friends and family at home to appreciate, but also so that we can look back and remember the things that seemed so alien or amusing at first.

Beondegi - one of the side dishes you often see, it is steamed silkworm chrysalis

We see a lot of funny bar names! Many of them tend to be variations on 'Sexy Man Bar', but we like this one in Dunsan in particular

The street is always littered with leaflets at night time; often there are large ones Sellotaped to the ground!

International Cuisine at the supermarket

MASSIVE bags of snacks - the one on the right is the size of a child

Crosses lighting up the sky everywhere you look

Odd bar snacks - seaweed, popcorn, nachos and soy sauce

Pressing a button at the end of the table to call over the waiter/waitress

Spam and olive oil gift sets

Matching couple clothes, sometimes just a coat or pair of trainers, sometimes an entire outfit!
(Notice my sneaky photo taking hiding behind my trolley in Costco...) 

And one that is the opposite of the other photos - very familiar! A great way to ward off homesickness, go to Homeplus (Korean Tesco) and buy some very British Tesco products
