Bulgogi Feast

This was a Korean Feast in every way. We ate the delicious dish of bulgogi, rice, leaves and bean sause. We ate with chopsticks. We sat on the floor around low tables. And we made the meal last a good two hours.
Bulgogi is beef, with onion, carrots and other veggies in a tasty broth. It is cooked in the middle of the table on a gas fired pan. And this is how you do it - You take a leaf in the palm of your hand, put some rice, bulgogi, bean sauce in it, fold the sides of leaf in as best you can and shove it in your mouth. Many choose to also pack the bite with kimchi, radish, or a whole garlic clove for extra flavor - but i go for the simple bite.
The majority of our guests this night were Trinity Alumni. No kidding! Nathan and Lydia Skulstad you can see there in the orange and black. Jamie and Jennica Graham are on the couch on the right. Dave Symonds is sitting far left with Reuben. Eunju and Fred, our most precious Korean friends joined us as well.
Here is a picture of our friend Eunju and I. Isn't she beautiful? Reuben and i enjoy the friendship of Fred and her, as they have helped us with the transition of new culture and language.
Davey and Reuben - Davey has been a great friend to us as well. He has taken time to show us the ropes and teach us all the things we need to know about being a foreigner in Korea.
Fred, Jennica, and Jamie. What are the chances to running into some old Trinity students. They too were married this summer and moved to Korea to teach English.
This picture was taken at the famous Pirate Bar. On any given night, or even early morning you are guaranteed to see some foreigners here having a good time. We were taken here our very first night in Korea to meet other foreigners in Sanbon. The draw of this bar is the sport of ice throwing. Each beer comes incased in a glass made of ice. When you finish your beer you stand behind the line a throw at the target. There are many prizes to be won, including more beer, food and orange juice. Reuben won on this shot. He is 15 for 20!
