A market is always a safe bet for some good photos. This is Jeju 5-day market, which happens every five days in Jeju City. There are 5-day markets in lots of locations around the island (and maybe beyond – I don’t know).
A lot of the market is for food – fruit and vegetables, fish and meat – but there are plenty of other things as well. We didn’t buy any of the many kinds of fish, or the squid or the
cuttlefish; we didn’t buy the chrysalises or the pigs ears or chicken feet; we weren’t tempted by the puppies or kittens; we’ve already got some kimchi in the fridge so didn’t go for the pickled vegetables.
However, we did buy a trowel for 2000 Won (just over £1) and a little tangerine tree for 9000 Won (about £6), which is now planted in the garden. We also bought a small pot of rosemary, and a pot-plant (chrysanthemum?) which is now on our doorstep.
In the top photo are those ingredients or cooked foods ready to eat?
Rebecca, are you preparing yourself for a visit?

(I am)
Some of that food looks interesting! I fancy some of that!
I’ll bring you back some pickled cabbage, Rob.
Alan, this market looks wicked!!! I really want to try the raw octopus!! Have you and Judy done it yet? What’s your favourite Korean food so far?
Take care and keep us posted!

Hi Qiaoqiao – the octopus is delicious! We’re enjoying most of the Korean food we’ve tried, with plenty of vegetables of all kinds. We had bibimbap twice yesterday, and some Korean pancakes. Alan
