Yang Yang Salmon Festival
22 Nov
Every year salmon swim upstream in October, before they lay their eggs. (Had I known they didn’t lay the eggs yet, I would have thought twice about partaking.) Every year YangYang has a big salmon festival to commemorate the event. You can buy fresh salmon, eat fresh salmon, learn about salmon, make salmon prints, and take pictures with killer salmon. You can also pay a mere fee of 20,000 won to catch a salmon with your hands!
Of course I hesitated, I didn’t want to kill a salmon. But then, I thought about how delicious that salmon would be. I thought about natives, painful hunger, and the respect and dignity involved in killing something for your own survival. Then I thought about my hunting skills. How am I supposed to live off the land in 5 years if I haven’t really tried to kill something? Especially a fish? “Okay, I’m in.”

Awesome … and a killer fish! Yummy for you!
What is this about living off the land in 5 years? Tell me more. Please e-mail me. Awesome. (I love the tender picture of you looking so loveingly at that salmon.)
