Double oh yeah...

I also attended a groovy sorta variety show in Busan several more weeks back. It was to celebrate(?) the opening of a hospital and so sponsored by the hospital and the head doctor. Not pictured is the dinner we got in on after the show, which was held for all the performers. Thanks to my estimable jazz-trumpeter friend Gordon, who was part of the show, we tagged along for a delightful dinner of raw fish (회) and spicy fish soup(매운탕) - yum! I tried for the first time raw 'sea penis'. I don't mean to be vulgar, but that's kind of what they look like, and no one knows they're real name and so are generally referred to as such. In Korean they're called 'gae-bul'(개불), which literally means dog penis. I tried just a little slice: the taste was not unpleasant, a mild ocean taste, but the texture was really weird - sort of chewy and crunchy at the same time.
