Jagalchi doesn't smell so bad

Sunday we went to Jagalchi market, famous for being the largest seller of seafood on the peninsula. It was huge. The bottom floor is all sea creatures, at least half of them living. The second floor is half dried seafood and half restaurants. You can buy a fish downstairs and have them cook it for you upstairs. We didn't eat there though, we weren't feeling brave and we thought our ordering could go very badly. The next two floors are a giant buffet that costs about 30 USD, but it's enormous and all you can eat with sushi and steak and all sorts of delicious (minus the steak) foods. We also didn't eat there. We actually ate at a cheapo place nearby but got ripped off anyway. Oops. Inside the market though we saw some of the biggest shrimp in the world, giant flounders, lots of octopi, some crazy shellfish, and these things that look like naked sea cucumbers - gross flesh tubes the give me goosebumps. It's a marine invertebrate zoologists dream! Can't wait to take Dad there.
We also checked out Gujke market nearby. Gukje is a giant street market where by haggling you can get many goods "on the cheap" as our map says. We got some string lights for our apartment, which is now feeling quite cozy and homie. We'll do a video of that soon. In the meantime, please enjoy this slideshow of Jagalchi and Gukje.

I also have this random assortment of Korean oddities to show. These were photos taken all over the place.

The Black Face jacket was at Gukje market. There's also The Red Face brand with the same North Face logo. Black Face looked pretty cheap, but Red Face looks kind of legit. The pumpkin house was near David and Duck's house. There was a small garden and to save on space the pumpkin vines were led up the house and onto the roof where the squashes looked like they were doing pretty well. It was such a great Halloween house. That "coffee" is what they brew at my school. My teacher asked me if I wanted coffee and then handed me that. A heinous crime against coffee's everywhere. The grubs were at Haeundae market. I wish I'd put my hand in for comparison. They were about as long and wide in diameter as my pointy and middle fingers held together. I think they're food because they were in a stall where the woman sold only edibles. They were awful (just their existance, I didn't eat them) and that box was full of them and I have nightmares about what kind of bug they eventually turn into. And the last photo is Brian and David playing Taekun at a typical streetside arcade near David and Duck's place. Those little arcade games are outside tons of small shops in the backroads.
