Out and About around Kunsan City

This past week, while all the pilots had to work nights, Trish, Becca, Amy, and I (all of the teachers) decided to try a different Korean restaurant each night. We just walked around town and went into different restaurants, all of which did not speak English. We just let them bring us the food and we ate it! I brought my camera the last night we ate out. This was a restaurant with a pig on the sign. So naturally, they brought us thick pieces of bacon to grill, along with many different side dishes. That is the Korean tradition. At every meal, they have 6 different side dishes (most of which I had no idea what they were). It was a lot of fun!

This is the traditional Korean side dish Kimchi. It is basically fermented cabbage with different spices. It is actually delicious in soup!

My absolute favorite Korean dish is the Chom-Chi-Kimchi-Chi-Gey. In English, this means Tuna Soup and Kimchi. It is so spicy! I order this soup about 3 times a week at my school. It comes with a side of rice for $3500 won ($2.20)

At this restaurant, we grilled up the slabs of pork and put them on leaves to eat. They were kind of like lettuce wraps!

The pork is actually cooked right at your table!

This was the outside of our restaurant. With Korean restaurants, you really never know what you are going to get. Even though it may look bad from the inside, the food is actually really good! Our entire meal per person was 6,000 won ($3.83). And the best part of Korea is that you NEVER tip!

Here we are with our meat and side dishes.

Without speaking a word, she brought us out our food and started cooking it on our table.

The wonderful Korean side dishes. We had no idea what any of this was...except the Kimchi on the right. It was all pretty tasty...and spicy!
