This is a spread of food we had when we were in Gyeongju, S.K. it's called "ssam bap" and consists of any number of side dishes that are shared among table members. YUM!

next, an old poster of some kids playing hopscotch

a photo of the family we ate Chuesok dinner with in Gyeongju

myself in front of the Gyeongju burial mounds for royalty. these were awesome and out of my whole chuesok vacation trip, i would consider living here in this small historical town over busan or daegu.

love graffitti by the port in busan

prapples? (i think they may be a cross between pears and apples, at least in taste and texture) but anyhows, they are for sale during chuesok and are wrapped up very nicely by women in fancy traditional korean dress called hanbok. and well, they should be wrapped up very nicely for 110$!!!!

two dogs all dressed up. dog-wear is very popular here and many street vendors hawk it with live models as seen here. the second model is wearing traditional korean hanbok. sometimes i've used the argument that little dogs get cold and therefore do need sweaters, but let's not be ridiculous.
