Three Potatoes for Three Dollars at Homeplus is Too Expensive!
Before you know it, they'll be selling watermelons for $15 each, oranges for $20/box and a head of lettuce for $3… Oh wait, they already do…
Eggs in the Mail from the Bandit
After our visit to the Bandit's Den last month (Post #1, #2, #3, #4, #5), I had emailed the Bandit to ask why he doesn't offer Internet service in the rooms anymore (the TV show done a couple years ago said that he did provide Internet). He replied to say...
Charlie Burger in Jungang-Dong, Ansan, Near My Office
A Korean who'd lived in Australia just opened a hole-in-the-wall hamburger joint near my office. It's hard to know if he's going to find enough people in this area willing to pay for his premium burgers, but I hope he makes it because his burgers are good!
Dinner at the Bandit’s Place
I'm still working my way through the photos of our visit to a rural homestay last week in the southern part of Korea. (Click here for the original posting.) Had a fresh chicken dinner on Saturday night at the owner's place.

Ansan Five-Day Citizens Market
I had not realized we've still got a market like this in Ansan. It is open every five days. (View in Google Maps.)
Good Makgeolli; No Aspartame!
I’ve been asked why I am complaining about aspartame in the makgeolli, especially considering that the US FDA approved it for use in food in the mid-1970s. It is a reasonable question. My point is two-fold: 1) If Koreans are going to make a big deal about how makgeolli is...
