Food

So tonight my coworkers invited me out to dinner to eat some gamjatang (see a previous post for more info). Apparently the restaurant we went to is famous throughout Korea for having some of the best gamjatang in the country. It was definitely better than the stuff I had before, even though that was also good. The bones were larger and had a lot more meat on them.

It was nice to be able to go out with them and talk. For the past few months they haven't been as talkative at school, so it was a nice change of pace. We had some interesting conversations on topics like basketball, music, traveling, and the pronunciation of English words written in Korean. The high point of the night though was when one of the teachers messed up on her pronoun usage and made the following statement: "Will it be okay if I go home with you by myself?" What she was trying to say was "Will you be okay going home by yourself?" I immediately told her she may want to rethink what she ahd said because her boyfriend may get a little angry. Everyone got a good laugh out of that one.

On the topic of food, it has come to my attention that the people that I ate with at the fish market have all come down with a pretty decent case of food poisoning. They have attributed it to the oysters that they ate. I managed to throw one down the hatch, but luckily I am symptom free. This is just another reason why I am not a fan of seafood.
