Picture of the Day: Diplomatic Ship in Busan
A replica ship of Joseon Tongsinsa, a diplomatic delegation sent by the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) of Korea to Japan, reenacts sailing in waters off the southeastern port city of Busan on May 3, 2024. The ship was modeled on one used by Joseon Tongsinsa, whose dispatch began in 1607 to promote peace after a seven-year Japanese invasion. A total of 12 such teams of envoys were sent to Japan until 1811, focusing on conveying advanced culture. (Yonhap)
Well, the Chysanthemum Crowd could stand a bit more flavor with some of their food, that’s for sure.
OTOH, the standard Korean food court “death-by-red-pepper” routine could stand a little less spice and a little more more “tea ceremony”.
The Japanese laid off my whole team; but they never attacked my GI tract as effectively as that factory kimchi near Incheon.
I must add that, even though the food was so spicy I could feel it doing permanent nerve damage, it was too delicious to stop eating.
C’est la vie.
