Pohang Trip, Part I: the restaurant

Here's the first batch of photos from our Saturday trip to Pohang. My buddy Charles had driven down for an academic conference, and since he was in the area along with his wife, he wanted to swing by, pick me up, and go exploring. Around 10:15AM on Saturday, Charles tooled into my neighborhood, presented me with a healthy-sized plastic bag of fresh apples in a gesture of equine fellowship (I whinnied my thanks), then invited me to strain the suspension on his tiny car. The three of us drove to Pohang on a bright, cool, perfectly sunny day; Charles was at the wheel, but Hyunjin was our navigator, using her smartphone to call out distances and directions. Pohang turned out to be easy enough to find, and Hyunjin, who had assumed the role of guide, told us we should try the mul-hwae (raw seafood in cold soup broth) at a famous restaurant called Marado. So after parking, we walked along the shoreline until we found ourselves at Marado's threshold.
