August 15 is 광복절 Gwangbol Jeol, Korea's Liberation Day from the Japanese Occupation. To
celebrate, I thought I'd give myself a three-day weekend trip to Seoul. |
After the long train ride, I decide to stop by this little Korean restaurant for some real
Korean food. I asked for 쌈밥 ssambap, cooked rice wrapped in lettuce, but the hostess tried to warn me the food was "hot" and I
replied with a simple "okay". The pork wasn't very spicy... So what you do is take a piece of meat from the table's center grill
and place it in a leaf of lettuce. Then you add anything from the community dishes scattered across the table. Then you wrap the
lettuce leaf into a little ball and put the whole thing in your mouth. It's pretty good.
The oddest part, though, was when the food was brought to my table, all the staff was watching to see my
reaction... |
I also found a Krispy Kreme near my hotel and I was soo happy! |
