Kimchi Festival






My everpresent sidekick Liz has flown back home to Canadia, and I am now a lone wolf in the merciless wilds of Korea. Ok, not really THAT pathetic, but she's gone, so mostly I just walk alone now...


We had the annual Kimchi Festival here in town this weekend, it's supposed to be a pretty big thing, so this morning Asher and I set out to walk around and check it out.


It was pretty neat. Lots of booths set up, tons of food, raw meat spoiling in the sun, dead fish floating in tanks, and of course, kimchi. The food actually smelled AMAZING, but I didn't feel like eating alone, so I got some sweets and kept walking. Asher absolutely loved it, the vendors kept giving him meat off the grill, water, and every few feet I was stopped so that kids could pet him. He rolled around in the grass and passed out on the floor as soon as we got home.


I've added some pictures of the festival and some shots of the cooking... Enjoy!
