Interesting Tidbit #3

You can find some wild things in the markets here. Pig heads, pig skin, pig feet... OK, so it's mostly wild pig parts. But frighteningly enough, you can purchase all manner of dogs. For soup. It's called bo-shin-tang. Yes. Live dogs, un-live, skinned, parts... ugh. Well, true - and a little interesting anyway.

The weekend... in short.

On Wednesday, Eternal Reflections II opened at Club That. The Korean/foreign art gallery and competition was held on the 3rd and 4th floors of this cool wine and jazz club downtown Daegu. I entered 4 photographs as a set simply named "China."






After voting closed on Saturday night, I won 2nd place in my category! This took the tangible form of a 10,000 KRW (~$10) certificate for an American breakfast restaurant which I quite enjoy. Nice.
2 Seoul rock bands and my friends' band played that night and we all greatly enjoyed the music.

Made it an early night, as Sunday was a big day to get married in Korea - the boy had to attend his friend's marriage in the morning, then my friend/co-worker got married in the afternoon. We enjoyed a big post-vows buffet and went home for a nap.

My Last August '08 Weekend Ever

Friday: After work, found a new place near my house to eat meat with my co-worker and boyfriend. Ate grilled chicken (duk-galbi) and pork (samguyb-sal), drank soju, and went home late.

Saturday: Got up early to take the train, drink some beers in the sun, and lay on the beach in Busan... One... More... Time for the summer. Had pretty nice weather. Took the train back to Daegu early to go out downtown with my friends.

Sunday: Woke up late, headed to Woobang Towerland Amusement Park to Sky Jump (controlled descent bungee jump), went shopping, had an amazing anniversary dinner at a great French restaurant downtown, and tried out a brand-spanking-new DVD room by Keimyung University (near my house).

Nice-ah!
