A few of us having adequately recovered from getting to know Mr. Seo, we decided to hit the Ulsan markets on Saturday. The district is called Sung Nam Dong. The streets are narrow and filled with a variety of shops, street vendors and food joints. Most of the streets are covered. Most of the shopping is clothes and purses, though if you want a bottled squid or live eel you could get that too. I buckled down and looked in a few purse stores for my wife. I have evidence that I did so, now I can move on with my life.
We learned in class the other day (and this is an unconfirmed broad generalization) that to Korean’s globalization means export, but no imports. I can see where this view would come from, because almost everything here is made in Korea, and we in the U.S. have plenty of Kias and Hyundais. However, this does not hold true for culture. Apparently our University is quite famous everywhere, as is Detroit’s murder rate…
