Park... Squid... Acupunture... Oh my!

Met some new people (Thanks Gloria!) at 여의도공원. Unfortunately, we were a bit too early for the cherry blossoms.


^The park is HUGE.

For dinner we ate a squid restaurant where everything on the the menu had squid in it someway. So if not a squid person not the restaurant for you...

Behold the LIVE squid. Oh yes, you eat these suckers while they are still squirming around on the plate. You must chew very well. There were reports of people dying while eating this because the tentacles suctioned onto their throat and they choked to death...


OF course the evening isn't complete without seeing something intersting on the way home... this time it was a lady on the bus...



Take a look at the top of her head. Yes, those are acupuncture needles... I had no idea you left them in after your appointment.... What if you forgot you had them and tried to brush your hair?!

OMG, I love this post!

Did you try the live squid? Was it strange to have it squirm around in your mouth? Why is it better alive than not?

WOW

Ok, I need to confess I didn't eat any of the squid... I watched other people eat it.

I thought I could eat anything but I drew the line.
