Before we begin, let me give a brief shout out to Evan, who came and visited us for a little over a week. If you see another white dude hanging out with us in some recent pictures, it's probably him.Feelin' normal
And he was a good sport, too. Usually when I ask people if they want to get naked and sit in a hot bath together, they say no. But, we're close like that, as you can see from this picture:

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.Feelin' excited

A Smashing Good Time at the King of Pirates

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.Feelin' excited
Yar! Into ye' drinking room!

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.Feelin' normal
