I thought this walk-through would be fun, but it was actually work. I'll try to remember not to do it again.

Finally, here's me eating lunch at Ongwhasanbang, the day when my hair was just a little too smooth. My scalp itches when I look at it. The cool thing about this picture is the fore and back ground - not the middle. In the back there are antique jars on a shelf on one side and on the other are an assortment of antique lids. Korean pottery has this really great earthy quality to it which adds a lot of warmth to a room. I really like this sort of "traditional" aesthetic. In the middle, directly behind me are a bunch of weights made from stone, just hanging because it looks nice. On the table in front of me are a bunch of dishes made by Mr. Shin, the potter we visited that day. That pancake in front of me and just a little to my right is pa'jon, the stuff I always talk about: green onions grilled in an egg batter. Mmm, so good. At this meal I got to use brass chopsticks and spoon. The chopsticks weren't tapered in the least and I kept getting confused over which end was for holding and which was for eating.
