FOOD

I have been in heaven over here, eating as many new things as I possibly can.  We have both been enjoying our new diets. There are definitely things that we miss dearly.  I think cheese is at the top of both of our lists. Don't get us wrong we've been eating cheese here, its just not the same...plus its super expensive. I would also pay A LOT of wons for a cup of Orange Pekoe tea, which seems to be the only thing that we have not been able to find.  Generally, if we want something, we are able to get it as long as we're willing to pay the exponentially higher prices here.  With that said, the meat here is SO good and we can scoop it up after work for reduced prices right before grocery stores close. Ben usually sticks to chicken and I usually go the fish route.  We routinely eat out at least once a day, as I've mentioned, its cheaper to do so if you're not eating at Western restaurants.  Many places only offer dishes that are shared so we can only order one thing.  We alternate choosing ... for the most part... let's just say we've had a lot of chicken.

Most restaurants that sell fish have these tanks out front...so you know the food is fresh!

This is Galbi, or Korean BBQ, probably the most popular style of eating out.  First is beef, second is pork and third is chicken.  The gentlemen with Ben are players from his baseball team.

Lots of soups!

Chicken overload.

This was seriously amazing!  The literal translation from the Korean name is "Soil Duck".  A friend of a friend took us for this fabulous meal that we had to order in advance.  The ducks are buried underground and a fire is built over them and that is how they are cooked for about 3 hours.  Delicious and weird and cool.

And of course we treat ourselves.
