Scenes from Sokcho

Looking out over the East Sea towards Japan at sunset.


Hanging squid out to dry on the street. Interesting to look at, but it doesn't look appetizing at all!


The fish markets are known for the freshest sashimi! You pick out the fish yourself, they cut it up for you and you can eat it right there on the docks.


Only an hour or two from the North Korean border, Sokcho has a lot of military and even barbed wire on the beach!


Japanese tourists flock to these interest points where Korean Dramas like "Winter Sonata" or "The Fairytale of Autumn" were filmed.


Seorak-san wildlife, up close and personal!


Seorak-san National Park has lots of beautiful temples and lots of trails to keep hikers really busy!


These students are young, but their English is great! They made pictures about Korean culture for me to bring back!


The local market in Sokcho has lots of local homegrown and homemade products including a variety of kimchi.
