They pop the grape out of its skin and into their mouth, discarding the skin, then they spit out the seeds. I think the skin tastes fine so I just eat it.

I believe this is a variety of Asian grapes with easily detached skin, so it might not work so well with other types of grapes.

I live in Korea largely because it's not where I grew up. I like the US and it's a good place to live, but for some reason it's not for me, at least not right now. I've been living abroad on and off for 6 years, still not ready to go back.

I like the little (or big) challenges of living abroad, and the new things I could never have experienced back home. Like today, I witnessed the laborious process that is the Korean way of eating seeded grapes. I like encountering new things, even if it's a stupid way to eat grapes.

Yup, it's been a while. I need to remember to stop by here more often.

I'm glad to see you've kept the photo challenges going. :)

I learned the word for "acorn" recently in Korean. I still struggle with remembering how to say things like "bring" or "hear". But if I ever need to talk about acorns, I've got that covered.

I'm from the US, live in Korea. As a result I usually wind up on websites when they're dead because everyone in the US is sleeping. Happy Friday morning, it's the weekend here. :)

Whoops, forgot it was April. Do you want me to take over the rest of the month?

Yup! Same demonstration. :)

Just woke up.

Those are some great street scenes. I think some of the best photos of cities are the ones of the people that live there.

I wish I had taken more photos of them. I miss those staircases.

Hope you're enjoying Belarus. Have to say that photo is pretty much exactly how I pictured the place in my mind. Cold and Soviet.

Wow, Belarus? That sounds like it'll be a hell of an experience. I've been tempted to visit North Korea at some point in the future, but that's a very distant plan.

Thanks!

If no one other than us wants to take over then I guess it'll have to go on hiatus for a few weeks. Do you want me to take over for February up until when I move, and will you be okay to do March? Or part of March if you're still busy for part of it?

Are you moving within Montreal or away from it? I can't imagine trying to move all my crap in the middle of a Canadian winter. :(

Anybody wants to take over the weekly photo challenge for February?

If someone other than me wants to, please say so. I'm moving abroad partway through February and it's very unlikely I'd be able to post challenges for the entire month.

No, this is from 2011, before all that stuff started. Just a normal labor day demonstration, a lot of communist and anarchist groups I think--couple of arrests happened at the end.

I didn't take any photos during the student protests, I really didn't feel like getting pepper sprayed or corralled. Still somehow ended up in the midst of them on a number of occasions sans camera (peaceful ones thankfully).

Arrest at a May 1st demonstration in Montreal.
