On my adventure on the buses system today stumbled upon an open air market. I walked up and down the market looking for something to eat. I needed a large kitchen spoon so I bought one (read "got ripped off") which I paid 2000won for. I went into a butcher shop because I have heard alot about Korean beef and how it appearntly is really good. I finally got it down with the butcher how much I wanted. After all that work he told me the price was 60,000won/kg. I could not afford this as I have no money. He sold me around a half pound for 15 dollars which I think is pretty expensive. I have to say thought... the rumors I have heard are right. The beef here is really good. I dont know if it is worth 30bucks a pound though. Maybe I just got the tourist discount.
