Not a real update. But hey, at least it's something.

I know I haven't written anything in a long while so I felt like it was time for me to contribute a little. The beer in Korea is fantastic (if you like the taste of water that is.) I have very little to contribute on that discussion because it has been so long since I tasted a decent beer, I have forgotten entirely what that was like. So instead, I am going to make a list of the crazy food and drinks which I have consumed in the past six months.

Soju- the drink of choice for Koreans. It tastes like watered down vodka, which it essentially is at 40 proof.

Cass and Hite- the two most popular Korean beers, completely indistinguishable from one another. They both taste like nothing at all.

Kimchi- spicy pickled cabbage, served with every meal.



My uber-rich kindergarten boss purchased a $500 bottle of a liquor made from the crushed eyes of tuna fish when he took us out to dinner the other night.

Cooked Silk worm larvae- a traditional Korean snack that in my humble opinion tastes atrocious.

I eat a lot of really good sushi.

Dried squid is served at a lot of bars instead of peanuts. Alongside the squid dried minnows and sardines are served, complete with dipping sauces.

Beksaeju- The drink of mountain hikers. Yes hiking and drinking go hand in hand in this beautiful country. There is nothing like leaning over a 500 foot cliff after consuming this sweet tasting, milky liquor.

Traditional Korean breakfasts- Tofu stew in particular; looks like vomit and after a night of heavy drinking is enough to produce some.
