Rape face comes in many shapes and styles

Via Asian Correspondence:


Police were searching for a man believed to be the culprit in a series of attempted rapes committed on Saturday the 26th of last month in Gwangju.

The suspect, who looks like any other students/nerds/good boy.

It's creepy to think that women (nowadays including small girls as young as 5 years old) literally have to watch out for every single male on the street.

In an updated news, the culprit was arrested after police received a tip from a local citizen. And know what? He attempted to kill himself. So much for Northeast Asian's high suicidal attempt culture.

Speaking of committing suicides, we had a chance to talk to a professor from Sweden who is an expert on Korean culture, he commented that the media in Korea is not covering the actual suicides news, only reporting those with 'interesting' stories or happened in a 'bizarre' ways that has 'news values' (or, 'entertainment values'). That explains why we don't read so many suicide news as we anticipated after arriving in Korea. 

Overseen in Seoul: Konglish for KFC

This is the KFC outlet right outside of the entrance of Seoul Zoo, or Seoul Grand Park. It was closed at the time and I spotted something funny on the adverts and took out my camera to snap the promotional menu:

For Burger set $10 pack, you will have 2 pieces of chicken, 2 roasted garlic burgers, 1 can (isn't it supposed to be served in cups in fast food outlets?) of (Coca) Cola, and... a can of Orange juice (refer to the picture of the set above).

For Chicken set...

Chicken 4.

While I was snapping, 2 girls passed me by and they chuckled at my action of taking photos of KFC menu... guess they did not even notice something is wrong with their Konglish :p

Morita Sushi in Jongno-gu, Seoul

All photos are copyrighted by me.

Morita family manages this, I guess :)

Morita (森田) on top left

Hui-cheon Jo-bap (Korean, top center)

Kaiten Sushi (Japanese, top bottom) 

迴轉壽司(Mandarin, Korean Hanja, Japanese Kanji)

Directions at the bottom of this post.

Nice wasabi and soy sauce. Damn, forgot to include the Korean pickled vege on the left tray!

As soon as you are seated, a bowl of soup is served. While you think it is miso soup, you're wrong.... (drum rolls please)...

It is Korean doenjang soup without anything in it XD

The sushi above is supposed to be the cheapest sushi on the kaiten... at ₩2000.

These are not cheap bamboo chopsticks, but metal ones (refer to the previous photo).

The container next to it is pickled garlics. Sorry, garlic is not my favorite even it is sweet after being pickled.

On the left, the sushi I never miss, Unagi Sushi (鰻寿司), teriyaki-roasted freshwater eel (wikipedia).

On the right, unidentified squid/octopus in Edomae Nigiri style (江戸前握り). 

Both of these were my favorites  o(≧ω≦)o

I have no idea what is this. A little bit salty, a little bit butter-ish taste from mayonnaise. 

In Gunkan Maki style.

One of the most recognizable sushi, Ikura Gunkan Maki (イクラ軍艦巻き).

But this one here doesn't taste good. I added more wasabi and soysauce, but it didn't help either way.

The most exquisite looking sushi I ever seen on kaiten.

Served on a big sea clam, the thing on top is chewy so I suppose it is some kind of... sea creature. Sorry, not helpful at all :p

Taste okay to me.

6 plates of sushi at Morita's cost ₩21000.

Would like to try out food at Izakaya (居酒屋) in Korea next time :)

(click to enlarge the lousy map)

Get off at Gwanghuamun station on Line 5 (purple line). Find Exit 1 or 8. Morita Sushi is right opposite the Sejong Art Center's backyard, at Green balloon B.

On another note (totally unrelated to food):

The mention of the name Morita "森田"always reminds me of Morita senpai from Honey and Clover:
