Korean Street Snacks

On display at this booth are numerous dried sea food snacks, such as dried squid, dried octopus, and other oddities. The yellow things on the far right in the red cups are what we in South Africa would call chips ("french fries"), but instead of using potatoes, they use sweet potatoes in Korea. These "chips" are also fried to be much harder and crispy and if you're not careful you might chip a tooth on them. Apart from the sweet potato chips I haven't tried anything on the table as they are all Biblically unclean foods, which I tend to avoid eating.

This photo was taken in Myeongdong, an area in Seoul famous for its trendy clothes shops and young people hanging out in their latest fashions. Myeongdong is especially nice to visit in the evening -- buzzing with lights and people.
