Sokcho Sashimi

Okay, Here's another video, this time food-related and Sokcho related. I searched Google Video for Sokcho, and found this clip that someone uploaded of their meal of 회, or sashimi, including one delicacy I have yet to try, Sea Urchin. (Not the April 1st Land variety described on Gangwon Notes)

Sokcho is famous for raw fish, and although it's not a lot cheaper than in Seoul, it is definitely fresher. My wife says the reason East Coast fish taste so good raw is because the water is much cooler, and the fish grow very slowly.

The video's pretty shaky, and not that great, but enjoy it, anyway.

This really has nothing to do with anything I normally post about, except that I've long had an interest in Central Asia (actually, pretty much all of Asia), and I came across this video by the Kazakh group "Xahrizada" at the excellent Opposite End of China blog. I have no idea what they're singing about, but the tune's been stuck in my head for days. Enjoy!
