This weekend, in Songtan, was the Korean American Culture Festival. We had no idea any of this was going on, but happened to venture down to the strip on Saturday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised.
There was TONS of food and the best part was it was actually affordable! UNLIKE an evening at Junk Food Alley! Korea is so great for a cheap-o like me!

Drew, enjoying his free Hite beer.
THIS IS ICE CREAM. I realize now how inappropriate it looks. At the time, I thought it looked like a trumpet! But of course, everyone else had to corrupt my poor little mind.
Drew also got a coconut.
Curly potatoes that everyone and their brother was eating.
CHESTNUTS ROASTINGGGGGG ON AN OPEN FIREEEEEEEE.. (For my mom haha)
Still not sure what these are, but they were SOOOOO delicious! Pancake type things with some sweet stuff inside haha. They were so good!
Bunches and bunches of candy and sweets.
The biggest hotdogs I've ever seen ever.
THE MOST PERFECT CORN DOGS EVER! Oh my godddddd. These were so yummy. There were french fries in the batter! Tasted so good, but were followed by so much regret!
More of those delicious pancake things.
I wanted to eat things whole thing all by myself. Oh my gosh. My mouth is watering just remembering how awesome it smelled.
This is so creepy and mean of me, but this was a "full grown adult" carrying a baby. I thought it was a little child carrying their brother or sister. The baby was like half her size haha!! I still can't believe how tiny this woman was.
After the festival, we went our with some friends. We are so lucky to have met such a great group of people here in Korea!
Drew caved and bought a flower from the flower lady. So sweet ;) Also that sign above me is perfect.
Love this lady! So sad that she will be leaving Korea in December, but now I have an excuse to go to Germany!!
Liz and I ended up eating silkworms after we'd had a few drinks haha. I was buying drunk food on our way to another bar and snuck a few silkworms. THEY WERE SO DISGUSTING. They smell SO bad, and they taste even worse. This will not be happening again. Ever.
Drew ended up going home early because he didn't feel well from getting a flu shot the day before, so me, Liz, and Ayron had to go bother him when we got home.
