There were various things that I am collecting here under 'touristy' things, which don't warrant a post of their own:
No post of Korea would be complete without Honey Nut sweets. The enclosed 'cage' in which they are made is for hygiene purposes. In front of the sweet maker is a bowl of rice flour. He begins the process with a 'coin' of honey which he stretches and stretches and stretches into hundreds of very fine 'hairs'. He takes about 50 lengths of honey 'hair', puts a blob of a nut mix in the middle and then seals the blob of nut mix in the honey hair. They are really yummy to eat. Not too sweet and very light.

The bride is inside the 'carriage'. The men dressed in blue are government officials.

| Basket weaving |
The long column of basket on the left is a doll to sleep with. It provides cooling and aeration in the hot tropical nights. I ever so nearly bought one, but thought of the long lug home, so didn't.
