It's cold in Korea, so here is a photo essay of how you can stay warm. Eat Odeng at Gwangjang Market. This ajumma has been here for 30 years. You'll see her in the main food area. Eat bbongobang or red bean stuffed gold fish bread. Wear Silly Hats Go on a date Koreans like to eat ice cream in the winter because they say it warms them up. Dress warm Drink pine needle tea or steamed pine needle rice cake Eat Juk! Pumpkin Juk or red bean or black sesame Eat Korean BBQ Here are some pictures of winter in Korea. When I think of winter I think of Bungeobbang, O-deng, Panda caps, love, pumpkin juk, and people eating ice cream out in the cold. You just gotta love Korea.Dan

These days I am feeling very artsy and with my camera I feel like I can capture some great shots. It's a Panasonic DMC G-2. My go-to lens is the 20mm with 1.7 aperture. I really like to play around with the different filters they have built into the camera such as "pure, expressive, retro etc. It's great for me since I am a lazy photographer: I don't like to photoshop. Anyway, I'll get back to food pictures soon, but here are a couple shots of my visit to Hyeri Art Village. It was made by the CEO of Crown Bakery. He has been buying up old "Love Motels" and he is converting them to art museums and artist communes. If you are a photographer, I recommend you head up to this place.
