Chilies, chilies, everywhere

The Korean people love chili peppers and chili powder. It is in so much of their food. As you walk along, you see the plants growing everywhere. Once the chilies have ripened, they are laid out to dry. Usually on the street or sidewalk. I have even seen them laid out on the median of the road and once they were taking up a parking spot on the main road! So when you come to Korea, be prepared to see chilies everywhere!



Here, they blocked off a seldom-used road to dry chilies!
