    Interesting pictures, Ying!
    Ciao da Bologna. 🙂

  • Food – definitely an important expression of culture everywhere!

      Yes! I agree wholeheartedly. Especially in Asian cultures. It’s really all about the food.

      Isn’t she just amazing? She just scooped out an octopus from the tank and start biting its tentacles off.
      And oh, Lotte is a multinational food and shopping (and even tours!) corporation that’s really established in both Japan and Korea. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Agness! *beams*

  • Great photos! Love them all, but the lady with the octopus is the winner! She’s serious about that creature! I wish we’d had more time to spend in Korea….next time!

      Yes, that picture does take the cake! I was stunned when she started to scoop out a huge octopus from the basin and starts chewing off its tentacles! I myself didn’t spend too much time in Korea either…next time then! 🙂
