Kimchi: Traditional food staple of Korea, made from fermented cabbage, garlic, ginger, and peppers.
Panchan (or banchan): Small dishes of cooked food served with rice.
Perilla (leaves and seeds): An herb of the mint family used in Korean cooking. The leaves are said to taste like "a combination of apples and mint," and the taste of the seeds is said to resemble sesame (though perilla is not related to sesame).
Chindo (or jindo) dog: This is a medium-sized dog traditionally used for hunting. Like the Australian dingo dog, it is a local feral dog that has been domesticated.
Traditional Korean country-style house: This is from a Unesco heritage site.
Rice-paper doors: It took me a while to figure out that this was what they were talking about. I kept picturing the mom pasting rice paper on a solid-wood western-type door.
High-rise apartment block in Seoul: Supposedly, this design is very innovative in that it has internal hubs that compel the occupants to interact.
Seoul Metro: Actually, the Seoul subway system has 400 stations. This image is from a photo project to shoot images from all 400 stations.
