Taylan and Jess's Visit

Dojang End of the Year Party



First dinner in Korea - Dokalbi

It cooks at the table. Waiting for it, while hungry, is difficult, but the cheesy, spicy rewards is worth it!

Weird tube worm mirror thing in Sinchon


Chris and Taylan cooked a meal and we busted into %45 soju from An dong


Out dancing the first Saturday night


On top of Ingwansan (small mountain covered with temples)


Market right near Dojang




Korean BBQ - they had pig skin and Chris decided to try some; once we discovered a nipple on one piece, we knew we had to get a video (turns out we ate it VERY undercooked, which is why it is so rubbery-oops!)


Jess, Taylan, Chris and Mel in Dojang


Working on what they call "special kick" - I suck at this, like supremely suck; it's a spin kick meant to hit someone's jaw


Our kitchen - red light because our blinds are red


Hooka!


Sea cucumbers (eating them raw, like MANY things here, is supposed to help with, ahem, endurance)

  1. Is that some kind of nut you are eating in the 3rd to last photo?

  2. It's a pupa! Yuk... oh man. Finally tried it. Fried grasshoppers in Cambodia where infinitely better - they tasted like salty bacon bits b/c they were fried and salted - whereas the pupa tastes like dirt, a rank dirt though. Very unique. I might be willing to try pupae again if they were salted and fried.... but unfortunately that's not how they are eaten here... they are boiled for a few hours.
