Herbal market - Daegu
The traditional herbal market in Daegu is a long street with various shops.
You find dried herbs, mushrooms, dried animals, turtle shells, Ginseng and all kinds of other, mostly (for us) unidentified objects.
Accompanied by the strange things your walk along the market street your nose will be filled with aromatic, but strange smells of all the herbs.
You will have it in your nose all day. If I try I can still remember the smell :).
Some Ginseng
Dried mushroom and a hornets nest, plus utensils to prepare the herbs
