Here it is folks, the Grand Finale of our trip to the land of the Korean South!
They have tanks all over the place with water constantly running through to keep the fishes happy and healthy. Notice the hook tool on the left side of the picture. We witnessed someone picking out a fish they liked, followed by a quick stab from this hook into the fishes brain by the seller. We were also showered with fish scales as a seller was preparing a fish for consumption.
Notice the creature that has hooked itself to the glass wall.
Kevin really wanted to find some freshly chopped and still-wriggling baby octopus legs to eat, but we didn't find any. Apparently these are fairly common in Korea, despite the risk of them suctioning to your throat and suffocating you. Luckily on our way out we witnessed this guy wearing a "hipster" hoodie, and balance was restored. We ran around for 5 minutes trying to get a decent picture of this guy.
Lights from the rooftop in Suwon.
Here is an example of a Korean paradox: it is often lighter at night than during the day. Note the woman who apparently is not wearing pants, a common fashion statement here.
This guy yelled at us and made us do the Gangnam style dance! We witnessed him several times chasing little girls! I guess it is his job to just walk around being goofy and talking in a high voice. When he saw us he exclaimed "ah, foreigners!" in Korean.
Moving to a new apartment in Korea is way cooler than doing almost anything anywhere else in the world: they are lifting the couch on a giant external elevator!
Exercise machines are everywhere!
This was taken on top of a mountain fortress in Suwon. Behind us was a guard tower that went up another 20 feet.
How did Muffin get here? And when did he dye his ears??
This is the train that gives a tour around the fortress!
On top of Namsan Tower, Korea's "space needle on a mountain." Many Koreans fall in love for the first time on top of this majestic peak!
There are thousands of locks stuck to the fences and fake trees up on the mountaintop to symbolize people's love. Lots of these cell phone cases as well, and various other little trinkets.
A row of lock-christmas-trees!
We were amused by these "gothy" girls all looking on their separate phones, together.
That's all, folks!
