Bizarre Foods with Jeff and Jin Sun

We know you've been waiting for this-

Intestine Alley in Seoul- mmm....very popular










Jin Sun gambles with her life by eating blowfish skin.















Check out the videos of Jeff eating live sushi and JSP's live octopus legs. Tip for novices- chew furiously on the tentacles or else you'll feel the suckers on the insides of your cheeks!

Flogging and Jail for Poor Grades

We visited Misook, an old time Korean village about an hour outside of Seoul- reconstructed for the hordes of students on field trips and tourists. These kids in their knockoff Burberry sweatsuits are being flogged by their teacher.

Later that day, Jeff found himself in 'jail'- he looks like he's having fun, doesn't he?

More Funny Signs in S. Korea

We studied this sign for a few minutes and still couldn't figure out what it was for but couldn't help ourselves.

Peanut buttered roasted squid was more obvious. We think the baby squids are eating the adult squid's head. It was quite the popular snack- our (read JSP's) curious taste buds couldn't endure the line...

And finally, this 'Classic & Bar' advertised that they had only women bartenders. Jeff went in to confirm...

Jeff Reaches Celebrity Status in Seoul and Beyond

Everywhere we went, Jeff was swarmed by young fans who all wanted to take a photo with him.

Just a few highlights:

DMZ and the Axis of Evil

We visited the DMZ with Jin Sun's aunt. Jeff shot some hoops and we checked out the tunnel that NK denies digging.

There were no photos allowed but we risked detainment to bring you this exclusive.

Wanted: English Sign Translator

No experience necessary. Just a good handle on elementary school grammar.

So far in Japan and Korea, we noticed that companies forgot to edit their English translations. Check it out.

Seoul- The Homeland

We were met in Seoul by Jin Sun's Aunt Mun Ku. She showed us around our neighborhood and took us sightseeing to various areas of Seoul.

That evening, we reunited with our cousins (Cliff and Jennifer) over a delicious meal of Korean BBQ Beef at Hanok- both marinated and not.
