Spotlight on Korean Food: Eat like a King!
Written by Kyle about Korea, Republic of. Feelin' excited
When I say eat like a king, I mean literally. There are numerous restaurants where diners can eat typical king's court food. With our friend Evan in town and our friend Jinny driving/interpreting, we decided to try out the culinary life of Korean royalty.

A Smashing Good Time at the King of Pirates
Written by Kyle about Korea, Republic of. Feelin' excited
Most things in Korea have some sort of gimmick to get you in the door and pay more money. When you're in a place that's so densely packed with restaurant after restaurant and bar after bar, you need something to make money. Maybe it's drinking in a jail cell, or swinging on indoor porch swings. At King of Pirates, it's the chance to throw your glass against the wall, at least the outside part made of ice.
Yar! Into ye' drinking room!

Kimchi Galore!
Written by Bessie about Korea, Republic of. Feelin' excited
Well, I said I love kimchi, and kimchi we've got:
In late fall, people all around Korea spend hours making kimchi for the family for the next 6 months. It involves taking cabbages and covering them generously with spicy red pepper powder, a little anchovie for flavor, and pickling them. It's sort of like canning vegetables because you can refrigerate it, and it lasts a long time.

Spotlight on Korean Food: Eat like a Buddhist Monk!
Written by Bessie about Korea, Republic of. Feelin' normal
Eating like a king was really delicious, but it would be hard to top eating traditional Buddhist temple food. All veggies, no dairy. Some of you might say, no way would that be delicious, but Sinchon, a restaurant in Insadong in Seoul, has a delicious feast! We went on Thanksgiving, but everyday of the year you can go for 20 small dishes of the most delicious vegetarian food I can image.

Working on Christmas Eve
Written by Bessie about Korea, Republic of. Feelin' excited
Well atleast working on Christmas Eve turned out to be a day of parties for the kids. The kids sang songs and Kyle dressed up like Santa.
My kiddies singing "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth"
I gave all my kindergartners candy canes, and they actually said "ick - spicy!" A few of them liked it, but others actually spit it out! That'd never happen back home!Let's be friends.
