Jeju-do, Iho Taewoo

Image
I lived close to here for over a year. During that time, I developed a habit of walking daily on the beach or on the lanes and roads beside the sea. We moved a month ago, but only a short drive away, to Yongnam-dong. Iho Taewoo is still the closest beach and now, if I want to be by the water without having a longer drive, I just go there for a walk. So today, I parked in the carpark close to the red horse lighthouse, and walked from there along the beach and up the road to Naedo-dong. Twas a cold, cloudy winter day, but the sun's rays kept shining through the clouds. Here are some pics:

100,000 won check.

Went to our local supermarket to buy tomatoes to make my lunch sandwich.  698 won per 100g so 4 tomatoes came to over 6,000 won.  Only one checkout operating, a woman paying for a small purchase with a 100,000 won check. The checkout woman, otherwise helpful and seemingly rational, held the check aloft and examined it carefully in front of the light to ensure it wasn't fake.  Satisfied, she opened her cash drawer to deposit it and offer change,  her hand on a 50,000 bill.  The customer requested 10,000 won bills.  Checkout woman assembles 7 of them and carefully counts them, turns them over and counts them again, adds several 1,000 won bills to complete the change, then counts the whole lot again.  I wait with my four tomatoes and a bunch of bananas.  Finally she finishes, and I am through.  Pinky waiting at the door, a youngish female is kneeling patting her, marveling at her good behavior waiting for her master.  Master appears and th...

Walking the dog #1

on the other hand as a matter of fact by the way you know Walking the dog Feb 19 pm walk down the hill to the galbi restaurant, the cloth surrounds taken off the island building that used to be a real estate, crocodile bag store and pork grill.  Workmen concreting the steps, smart new brick facade and four small vacant stores - soon be occupied as what? Walked up towards the CU convenience store, a man sitting in front, slightly disabled bellowed out to Pinky who meekly walked up to him for a pat.  At first I thought he was shouting at the dog but it seemed his disability affected his mouth motor control.  Pinky received the affectionate hand, then abruptly turned to run home.  Back into the narrow side detour in front of the island  blocked with worker's trucks, stacks of blocks, electrical cables, sand, working detritus, and I had to follow.  Then on to the warmth of home, a truncated afternoon walk.  Still 0 degrees outside.
