Pet Octopus and the Markets


One day we went over to the fish market and got a live octopus for our pet. I mean where else can you just pick out an octopus for the day to play with? It inked in the bucket after it got dropped once and only lived for a few hours, but we had our fun with him and then took him over to the office elders to have for dinner :)

The fruit and vegetables in Korea are HUGE!!!! SOOOOOOO tasty and everything is so pretty and gigantic. Apples and pears practically the size of Paisley's head, and carrots that turned our cheeks orange after eating them because they could barely fit in our mouths. Yes, we could have cut them up but it was WAY more fun to just chomp on them whole.



The market is a favorite place of mine to go. You get to see lots of cool stuff and find great deals. The fish market is full of every kind of seafood you can imagine and more; stingray, eel, octopus, squid, etc.
Those are little sharks over Luke's shoulder!

What a cool pet. Too bad you couldn't bring it home and stick it in your fish tank. Looks like you guys had such a fun time.

Paisley's picture by the seafood was awesome. That's how I'd be feeling too. How could celery possibly be that huge? I love that you bought an octopus for a pet.

What a memorabe trip! The kids are so funny with the octopus - did they like the food there? I'm so jealous of the fabric markets! I bet your parents are missing you now.

I always got a kick out of the big carrots. :)
