August 5, 2009

My time is coming to an end in Korea. I’m sad and I haven’t even left yet. On the upside, I passed the final with flying colors… and a lot of effort. So, my straight A’s are permanent. I’ve just been packing my things and getting ready to head back home to D.C. The time spent here will never be forgotten. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to write as much as I’d like, as I have to move out of my apartment today. My friend took me for a farewell dinner. I’ve never had this dish in America, so although it may not seem as exotic, it was a new experience for me.

Pumpkin Soup W/ Beef and Sushi

This tasted so good. It had a smooth texture to it, and it was very fresh. Oh I forgot to mention, the “bowl” it was served in was actually a pumpkin! This not only was aesthetically pleasing, but very pleasing to the taste buds. Give it a try if you want something foreign but not too adventurous. The beef was roasted, and the sushi was very fresh. We decided to have a glass of wine with our meal, which topped it off nicely.

This is one of those rare Korean restaurants that had chopsticks AND Forks available. I prefer chop sticks, and the sushi, honestly, is best eaten with them. Again, really make sure that you know what everything is. The plate that you see behind my soup had the sushi and beef on it, but also various vegetables. I have no clue what was on my plate, but it was scrumptious.

Korean word of the day: Po do joo (poedoeju) = Wine. Bye!
