It’s blistering cold today.I just finished shooting for three hours at Hongik University. I’m home now with a nice bowl of bibimbap and my hands are still cold. Anyhoo, while walking home I came across this gentleman or rather I smelled something good and familiar and boom! the source! See, this is what I like, someone who wants to make some extra money, makes an wood burning oven like this and starts roasting sweet potatoes right there in the street. Sweet potatoes are a staple of the Korean diet as well as a very yummy snack on any kind of day. I’ve seen people eat them in the summer time, in the metro,  you get the picture and here’s some pictures.
