Walking downtown Seoul saw this demonstration by a Christian group, They were singing songs and handing out pamphlets. They all were very happy and had smiles on their faces...
Namdaemun Market, Seoul, This stand is selling fried silk worm larvae that you buy by the cupful (white cups bottom left). They look like fried bugs and taste pretty much like you expect! :) Dede Shine was visiting and was with me and bought a cup of the disgusting things for me :) I ate a couple of them - tasted pretty bland although Dede liked them!
Namdaemun Market near downtown Seoul. You can buy just about anything here. No prices on anything, you barter, but the Koreans are very nice at bartering - if you say no and don't buy anything they are very nice about it! The market activity really picks up in the evening. You can buy everything from clothes to electronics to all kinds of food.

This is the Office of International Cooperation at Hanyang University. This shows the desk of the Director of the Summer Program, Mr Shin, behind which an ONU pennant proudly flies. Of course I could not find out what time it was back home - the New York City clock is missing!
A few of our students - (myself), Julia Tabaj, Derek Schneider, Chelsea Mack, Travis Edington, and Sheila Willamowski at Geongbokgung Palace Seoul. Chelsea and Sheila are holding fans that were gifts to the students who participated in dressing up as Royal Court figures and marched through the palace grounds.
