Drunken Tiger

I may not post for a little while, I'm a bit busy at the moment. So please watch these videos of Korean Hip-Hop Superstar Drunken Tiger while you wait for new photos. It's not that I haven't taken the photos, I have. It's that I'm too darned lazy to post them. And showing Korean music clips off youtube is much easier than uploading photos.

Don't worry, both songs are in English for your enjoyment. Sorry if this isn't your style grandma.


Oh, and little story. One time, shortly after I came to Korea a new restaurant opened near my apartment building. I walked in and there wern't any photos and the menu on the wall was all in Korean so I didn't know what they had. So I did what I figured anyone would do. I'm in Korea, at a restaurant, so I ordered Kimpbap. The lady laughed at me. Turns out, it was a Chinese restaurant.

And that is the funniest story I have ever told. At least that's what a lot of Koreans tell me. Ahhhh.

Transportation

One of the really great things about Korea is the public transporation system. There is a new bus in town that takes me from my town to central Seoul, with zero stops. It is awesome. Check out the photos below. We've got cup holders, adjustable seats, and maps in English! Yay!

Heartbreaker

I know it's been a long time since I've posted. I've nearly got my new computer running. So in the mean time, you can watch G-Dragon from the huge k-pop boy band Big Bang, with his solo effort. This is as cool as it gets right now.

삼겹살

Ahhh, Samgyeopsal (삼겹살). Imagine huge slices of bacon. But without the curing and salts and all that. Now Imagine a little portable grill on your table. A lady comes up and takes a chunk of pork fat to grease up the grill, puts some kimchi and potatoes on the grill and hands you a plate of pork belly meat.

Yup, you get to cook it. You also get a bunch of side dishes, and sauces for your meat. Oh, and you don't get a knife, you get some scissors and some tongs. For the uninitiated this can be a bit tricky. But don't worry, like most things with Korea, so long as you try a Korean will come save you and cut up your food for you.

Check out the sides in this photo, oh, and can you read korean? Even if you can't, I bet you can guess what kind of pop that is!
