Subway Salesmen...

Once in a while, these subway salesman come through the subway train with their rolling carts, selling random stuff (usually crap - sometimes things worthwhile!) This man was selling a package of 5 magnetic clips to close food bags with for the equivalent of 75 cents! (Not sure how he is able to make a living doing this!)


He gave about a 2 minutes shpeel about his product and showed ALL the different ways it could be used! Then he walked the traincar to see if there were any takers! Unfortunately, there weren't. Guess everyone already has food clips! I will say though, there have been some subway salesmen who have been so convincing that I had to buy their product! So, I have 2 pairs of gloves and 1 lent picker uper thingy at home! I'm a sucker, what can I say!

Happy Birthday Buddha!

The lanters have been hung, and the Buddhists are already beginning to celebrate Buddha's birthday around here!


It isn't technically until May 21st, but they decorate the town weeks in advance! (Kind of like we do for Christmas, minus the expensive trees, fancy wreaths and colorful lights!) I'm going to be staying in Busan this year for the holiday weekend (last year I went to Japan) and I'm planning to head over to one of the big temples around here to get some pictures of the lanterns! I heard it's stunning at nightime! Can't wait!
