Before you freak and and think I'm a monster for eating 산낙지 (Sannakji), otherwise known as live octopus, let me tell you something: it's not really alive. Well, it's alive when it gets to the table, but then the server chops it up into bite-sized pieces....

It took eleven months, but I finally tried beondegi, also known as boiled silkworm larvae. It's a popular Korean street snack, and is even available by the can! Enjoy my first-ever video post :) [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8ALK032JmI[/embed] ...

Every weekend, my roommates and I try to do something “touristy.” And every weekend, we end up getting lost.

Not this time.

The moment we exited Noryangjin subway station, the smell of fish and saltwater guided us over a bridge and down two flights of stairs—into the largest seafood market in Seoul.
