As further proof that you never know everything that's going on, I present to you a few pictures from a Ginseng Festival in downtown Seoul. Held last weekend, the Lady in Red and I wandered around the Cheonggyecheon area and came across it.
Prices ranged from 40,000 per kilogram on up - way up. Koreans take this stuff seriously, that's for certain
It's rather difficult for me, the foreigner, to figure out what makes one box more valuable / better than another.
Anyway, it's a reminder that there's always something happening in downtown Seoul, whether you've heard about it or not.
