More sewer time
Eating dinner the at the first place I could find
OK, so someone ate a Pangolin, and now they have monkey pox, and they came to Australia and a few other places, and so now Korea is debating if they should deport everybody from a monkey pox infested country and close the borders.
If they find me I assume I will get the anal swab monkey pox test followed by deportation, just in case the swab does not work.
The only way to stop this from happening again and again, is to kill all Pangolins, they seem to be the source of all our problems.
With that out of the way, it was time to immediately find my dinner, at the nearest place possible, because I was starving, having burned over 2400 calories earlier. The place I thought I was going to was closed on Sunday night.. what? Thats not the Korean work ethic I have come to expect. Actually quite a few places were closed Sunday night, who knew.
Anyway, I found a decent quiet fast place, and engorged. This left enough time to go hang out at the sewer with everyone else and see what floats by.
I was so hungry I could eat a whale.
Instead I ate some pasta. Now, Korea does a lot of Japanese style food, ramen, curry, but this is the first time I saw a place selling Japanese style pasta. For people wondering why pasta is Japanese, it is what they put on it. I chose beef and cream sauce with chilli, which is not too Japanese although the beef is thin slices like you would use on a Korean bbq, but there's plenty of seafood related things with seaweed available as well.
A bit of local neon.
Then it was time to descend into the sewers again, this is a handheld 1/6 of a second ISO 1600 shot. I love my little camera.
More sewer, during blue hour. It actually smelt (smelled?) like a sewer today! Concerning.
These people like to hang out here under the bridge where the sewer gas accumulates.
Last shot from a long day, a neon waterfall and a Christmas tree.
Actually, for some reason I messed up and did not this real last shot from a long day, which is balloons covering grass. I do not yet know what the deal with balloons is, but there are lots of sculptures and promotions across Seoul at the moment using balloons as a mascot. Perhaps they are trying to fill the oceans with balloons that float away on the cool summer breeze.
