This is the first I’ve heard of Gangwha Island in Korea. Looks like an interesting place to visit.

Nice pictures, and I was glad to be reminded of the pajeon egg dish – a favorite discovery when we were there earlier this year. Thanks.

In reply to Sue Reddel. Hi, Sue! I think you would enjoy traditional Korean food. Korea offers some interesting and tasty dishes not found anywhere else.

In reply to Doreen Pendgracs. Hi, Doreen! If you ever have the opportunity drop over. :) Many flights from North America do a stop over in Seoul on their way to other Asian destinations.

In reply to Rachel Heller. Hi, Rachel! I agree, creepy indeed. The South tends not to hide their lookouts but no so in the case of the North Korean lookouts facing Ganghwa Island.

In reply to Kreete. Hi, Kreete! Accommodation can be quite expensive. As long as you eat in small local restaurants, food is affordable. However, be sure to take a walk through a large grocery store, and you will be astounded at how expensive food is here. Excellent, cheap subway system. Transportation is probably one of the most reasonable things in Korea. Thanks for linking up this week! #TPThursday

I’ve never been to Korea but you certainly showed the interesting contrasts to from the North and South. I have to admit that I’d love to try the food looks pretty tasty.

This story about seeing North Korea from Ganghwa Island reminds me of our fascinating trip up to the border. It’s all pretty creepy, isn’t it, how both sides watch each other so suspiciously.
