February is already here, I cant get my head around it. How is time flying by so fast? This week was an unconventional one, learning about Korean food, Korean men and the art of drinking excessive amounts of soju.
I went out for Song-gip-sa last night, thick pieces of what looks like bacon that you cook on a grill in front of you. To my surprise I enjoyed it. I think I enjoy the ambiance of Korean dining more then the actual art form. Inside what looks like a run down building is this quaint eight table restaurants with tree stumps as the table chairs. The kind man who may work there but we aren't sure, sat down with us, drank soju, began cooking our meal and then complained when I, the only woman at the table wasn't cooking. I guess that is one cultural medium, men love to be cared for.
I also realized this week that Korea is one of the only places that I know of where drinking is encouraged on the job. I walked into school Thursday morning already slightly hung over to one of my co-teachers handing me a bottle of homemade wine and a glass "drink this today". The day was interesting and I ended up feeling worse then when it began.
I also explored some new movies this week, (this blog is so lame huh), Boondocks Saints, someone somewhere along my travel through life highly recommended it, I highly disagree other than the great Boston setting. I also saw Shaun of the Dead, and again....do not recommend it.
Well....enough....the weekend is here....I hope Monday takes its time coming!
