Under the bridge
Yeosu harbourside walk
Tomorrow I plan to walk a loop over the bridges, so this evening I walked under one of the bridges.
This took me to an area filled with seaside attractions, mainly restaurants selling the same exact menu, a couple of hundred of them! But also 'romantic buskers' (they all had a sign saying that), dancing old folks like China, the cable car across the sky, lots of fancy cars, upmarket cafes, art galleries, poodle fights, a child fighting a cat. All the things I had seen previously on youtube when looking at Seoul walker (famous youtuber) walk around Yeosu.
And then I also found the healthiest dinner of my entire trip so far by a considerable margin, so I was thrilled I did not have to bight the head off an octopus, or have another schnitzel the size of a car tyre.
Vegetable market, ingredients for my dinner came from here.
Not much of a photo, but when I came past on the bus earlier there was a line 100 metres down the street. Now there is a shorter line, but still a line of girls waiting to buy chocolate coated strawberries. They are about $5 each! This is why young Korean's cannot afford a deposit to buy a house.
1004 stairs. Nice.
OK, the sun and cloud were doing great things this evening, so expect a few into the sun shots.
First appearance of the cable car, which I guess is now the most photographed thing in Yeosu.
I walked further around the coast than last night, a few places like this started to appear. Holiday apartments at the top.
Thats a hard no from me.
I have heard this Paul Frank guy is famous. I wonder if this is official or just someone banking on Paul never finding out.
I started to hit the hundreds of places with the identical menu. Every place had an as seen on tv, and photos of celebrities that had been there.
There were a few groups of cars owned by Korean Princelings, I guess the horrible orange wrap on the Mclaren is why I chose this group for the photo.
The sky was being really weird!
More cable car, more of that tomorrow, although rest assured I will not pay to go on it.
What is going to emerge from that cloud?
Under the bridge, with the presumably government approved Korean conformist in every way menu places.
Last sky shot, bridge and cable car.
How about that for a healthy dinner? I paid about $15 for it which is a lot in Korea, but totally worth it. I did not order the drink, but the clearly gay owner / chef brought it out for me and said 'with my compliments'. Cool. Must be my fantastic hair.
And then on my way back, Chinese style mass dancing, on a small scale. Although here you get to pick your own music, China has 12 approved songs for mass dancing, with Little Apple being the most recent addition in 2014.
