First week: done!

Today, Pepper and I embarked upon a lovely three mile jog down Gwangalli Beach. This city is well-designed for fitness freaks, because wide-set pathways frame the beachfront area and seem to travel for miles. In this area, daily foot traffic includes runners, walkers, a slew of bicyclists, and even a few skateboarders. We're still riding the culture shock wave, but that's ok, because we have sights like this that impress the heck out of us.

A Korean marina! Who doesn't love perusing boats?

A panoramic shot would be much more glamorous, but until I figure out that particular function on the new phone, these smaller photos will have to do.

Nope, this isn't sushi, folks. It's gimbap. It's healthy, it's good, and it's cheap. You can't go wrong with this stuff.

This is what the Korean flag looks like. It's not quite as comforting as the stars and stripes, but I still think this one is quite lovely.

We adored this discovery: outdoor gyms! No membership is needed at this time, because on our run, we stumbled across two areas with exercise equipment. Some machines were familiar, some were not. Bonus: they had gigantic hula hoops!
