Lost in Translation

So here are a few last Korean things that I found amusing/funny that I thought I should post.


This is a chocolate bar I found in a gas station that made me laugh..."Crunky" chocolate. I believe it was intended to be "Crunchy". It was little chocolate bars with crispy rice (like our Crunch bars). It was pretty gross actually...it wasn't very sweet and the rice had a bit of a fishy flavor. I brought it home for the family to try (I wasn't trying to bring them something nasty, I never tasted it in Korea) and it is still sitting on our kitchen table...that's about the longest chocolate has ever lasted in our house! Anyone who would like to try some...I have it for you!

These two pictures are the rice fields along the side of the road. They are ALL OVER in Korea. It is approximately 17 or 19% (can't remember which) farmland. It is very marshy area that isn't naturally that way...the fields are all irrigated to be filled with water for the rice to grow.

I took these pictures out the window while we were driving, which reminds me about driving. I found it very amusing that in the US they are passing all these laws about banning cell phones while driving and over in Korea 90% of the taxis and public buses we were on the driver was watching a Korean soap opera/sitcom on a tv on the dashboard while he was driving us! It made me kinda nervous...but it was VERY common over there!

Here are a few more visors :) Just wanted to point out that they come in all shapes and sizes. The ladies would all wear the visors, carry sun umbrellas, and sometimes even wear little cotton gloves. They are very sun weary over there!

Another sign that I am sure got lost in translation... :)
