Various Korean commercials featuring figure skating star Kim Yuna. The world champion is a huge commercial star in Korea; these are the few which I saw on TV frequently during the Vancouver Winter Olympics…

Korean athletes have been doing quite well at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, but all eyes were on 19-year-old world figure skating champion Kim Yuna’s record breaking performance in the short program on Tuesday.
Sausage wrapped in batter and French fries instead of normal bun, and it’s poked on a bamboo stick for you to hold on. Genius, only in Korea…
It’s a common street food in Seoul, most often seen at night markets; had mine at Dongdaemun area. You can’t go wrong with sausages and fries; it’s always good.
