Street Food and Ewha

이대

Ewha Women's University is known for its beautiful scenery. Many tourists make their way to take pictures against this beautiful backdrop. The gardens are above a modern energy efficient building. While the building itself is accessible only to Ewha students, feel free to take pictures in the gardens or on the stairs which lead to the building below.

The area around Ewha Women's University (also known as Eedeh 이대) has many clothing and beauty shops, but there are also many kiosks selling cheap yet delicious snacks.

no, it is not raining! Koreans love staying fair skinned and try to keep out of the sun. That is why you will see many people with parasols or paper fans to block the sun.

and the kiosks just line the road!

Koreans eat a lot of seafood and pork. Fish sauce is also used in many of the dishes, even the ones that are "vegan."

Another common snack is freshly squeezed juice. In the video, the sugarcane is being squeezed and the juice is collected into a cup which is then poured into a bag with ice and handed to you. It is especially refreshing in the summer humidity.
