A woman raises her hand as she carries a bag of Chinese cabbage, or `baechu’in Korean, on her shoulder amid a large crowd of people gathering to purchase the vegetable at a discount offered as part of Seoul City’s emergency measures to cope with a shortage of ingredients for kimchi at the Sinwon Market in southwestern Seoul, Tuesday. The city is offering 1,000 tons of cabbage at 70 percent of the going price, up to 10,000 won per head, or three times the usual price for this time of the year, after bad weather caused a poor harvest. / Korea Times photo by Kim Ju-sung
