It's a Friday morning in the city of Jinju, South Korea. About 40 degrees and sunny. We are in a tea shop and I just had the most zingy cup of lemon tea. Like hot lemonade with softened lemon rinds swimming around, and a touch of honey, in a very zen ceramic mug and a wooden saucer. Duwayno had a type of tea made from dates, with three pine nuts floating in it. This tea shop is owned by a Korean Rotarian -- friends in high places.
Last night in Seoul, we wandered into an alley lit with neon storefronts and found a seafood restaurant. A piping hot communal bowl of bean sprouts, crab legs, mussels, squid and octopus. We ordered this with no idea what we were ordering, but we ate most of it with gratitude, if not pleasure and curiosity.
