I haven't taken my camera out at all lately--it's too bleak here right now; I feel like nothing would be very interesting (this is probably not true).
But I did find these on my camera! 
The first is of a woman cooking hoedoekk, little pancakes with syrup in the middle. It starts off chalky inside with really gooey dough, but then she squishes it enough to cook it through. I recently was shopping at E-Mart, Korea's Target, and this woman who was cooking sample hoedoekk was so excited to see foreigners that she kept encouraging us to eat whole ones! 


The second is of the concentration/torture camps Japan used for Korean patriates during WWII. That's the view from...the leper house.

And finally, one night out by Hongshin University (in the Hongdae area), we stumbled upon a reenactment of a traditional Korean wedding. I have no idea why they were doing it, but it was cool to see.
