and when I got out of Korean class I got to see a peek of blue sky :]
My roommate Abby then invited me out with her and her friends to hot pot, but as we wandered into S[h]*inchon they couldn't find the place they liked, so we went into a rather famous chicken place.
It has chicken, potatoes, zucchini, carrots, and clear flat noodles, with lots of sauce.
When you're about halfway done with the meal, you call the employee for some rice, and they dump it in with some seaweek strips, and you mix it all in together so it gets all saucy
It was pretty salty, but it was a nice change because it's quite difficult to eat chicken in Korea! they mainly eat beef, pork, and seafood.
And for those of you who have been wondering, yes I've started eating meat again. I started in June to prepare myself and prevent myself from limiting myself to foods in Korea/Asia and getting terrible tummyaches. :]
Plus, in Korea, eating meals, such as grilling meat together, is very collectivistic. I don't exactly want to be the odd one out, do I? I already am a foreigner and can't speak Korean!
The view, walking back at 8pm. to the left is a college, in the middle is the nearby university, Ewha Women's University, and to the right is a mall/Megabox, which shows movies.
*The reason I type S[h]inchon is because when it's spelled out, for subways station purposes and whatnot, it's english-ized and spelled Sinchon, but in Korean there is no actual "si" or "ci" sound: it is not harsh like "shhh" but more "sssh" for its pronounciation. Many of us wonder why they don't just spell it Shinchon!
