Culture clash
One of several small trucks that do the neighbourhood rounds selling fruit and vegetables to the numerous small restaurants. This one's flogging the spicy Korean staple radish. The trucks have loudspeakers mounted on their roofs, and a looping recorded sales pitch to lure the restaurateurs out for a look-see. This one sounded like Joe Strummer barking a Korean version of This is Radio Clash.

speaking of koreans & radishes..... one thing i learned on a trip over there was the word "mudati" (sp??) which means "radish legs." apparently it's the korean version of kankles and it's a sensitive topic for any korean woman with a body complex?!
ReplyDeletethere you go. add that to the list of korean words you know!
