Authentic Korean Beef Bulgogi with Mushrooms

This ends up being like a messy oriental burrito. The fresh veges are great. You can keep the kimchi-thanks anyway. I'm hopeless with chopstick, hence the fork you see.

Korean War Memorial

This commemorates the Korean army at Okpo in their being able to repel Japanese. Can't tell you when or how because most all the historial momument info is in Korean. Tons of history here. The Korean people suffered much through WWII and the Korean war.

An afternoon at the park

This is a relatively new park. This is a public workout area. Right there in the immediate background you see DSME shipyard.

Fresh Seafood Smorgasboard

Not very appetite inspiring is it, especially when I can't identify half of it. This is right down on the water front close by us.

Shopping at the DC Store

Stuff is piled from floor to ceiling with everything imaginable. We don't know what DC stands for, but the local expats say its for D'Crap store. You can purchase a lot of odds and ends more reasonably here locally than elsewhere and still they seem expensive. I was able to buy a hair dryer with 220 for too much. We'll see how it holds up.

Foreign English Teller Machine

I haven't had to use this yet. There is a $1.00 fee for each transaction, but we can get cash in won from our Paso Robles bank.

Neighborhood Korean Grocery Store

Everything seems very expensive. One dollar U.S. only equals 930 Won and if you use your credit card there's another 3% tacked on.

Another Familiar Franchise

I've never been fond of Domino's, but I'm guessing that after a few months this could look pretty good...

Donkin Donuts Korean Style

With slim pickins in the frig after our arrival, we had breakfast here. The girls were friendly & helpful - but very little English. They were embarrassed to have their picture taken. don't ask for sweet 'n low or equal here.

Beverly Hills II

The prominent building in the center of this photo is our new home, Our apartment living room window is the third floor, right side of the building and faces the bay. The building has 18 separate apartments with a gym on the ground floor and swimming pool on the top of the building. The stairs at the left bottom of the building go down a steep hill. I think Dale said there are 244 step. At the left of the steps are hillside gardens.
