But Then...How Do You Take It Home?

Sometimes you encounter some strange things while traveling to new places. I think one thing that still continues to amuse me are crane game machines on the streets. It's illegal to gamble in Korea with the exception of these unique crane games.

I know what you are thinking: cheap toys, strange gimmicks, and such. But, expand your mind! For 1,000 KRW (about$.85) you can buy a chance to win a live lobster. That's right, the crane game machine is filled with a pathetic amount of water and a few lobster are poked, scooped, and cooked by a lucky few. It's quite cruel, but for the gambling addict and/or Tuesday night drunk without a place to go its as good as gold.

But seriously, once you catch it, do you just grab hold and walk home? That seems awkward and a bit selfish. I mean, you only caught one, right? So many questions...
