There's a 홍어 (skate) festival this weekend in Naju, if you want to go and hang out with Fatman Seoul. It makes for notoriously stinky eating
Hongeo smells and tastes something like a freshly scrubbed urinal, only more potent. Speaking of potent, some people claim it’ll make you a bit high. We can’t verify that, but we will say that the fragrance will cling to you and everything you own for days afterward, until your pores simply ooze out the scent of shark pee while you are left completely and utterly alone.
and though I actually don't mind it
Actually, Naju is all right, and it has improved significantly since all the asshole foreigners I didn't like left. According to a scan of a pamphlet I just saw, the festival will take place along the Yeongsan river, which is a short distance from the Yeongsanpo Bus Terminal (which you'll stop at if you take the slow bus from Mokpo to Suncheon). Yeongsanpo is still home to some Japanese architecture from the colonial period, when the town was a big deal.
