another delightful photo essay, @slowwalker.
As you travel about I can see the cultural changes around you. It must be hard to see old ways dying out, like the garlic market now being run only by old people.
I loved the wealth of pictures in this post - the heaps of garlic and peppers, the face of the virtuous old woman.
The story of the bear eating garlic and transforming into a woman was touching.
I notice that most of your posts are celebrations involving visiting a restaurant or sharing a meal. You take the reader along and show the beauties of Korean cuisine and the cutural and religious significance attached even to simple spices.
An insightful post, @slowwalker!
