And waves made of balls:
Bad Experience
With 호환 the Korean language has a special word for “disaster caused by tigers” or “ravages of tigers”.
Another Language
As if Chinese wasn’t enough, Ouwen and I decided to learn Korean. Last week a Korean friend has been at home and bought us the book “Korean made easy for beginners”. Looks very good.
It’s good that they included a CD because I can’t find the free mp3s online. The book is for beginners which implies that they do not speak Korean. How are they supposed to understand the website.
Hangul: Fascinating. Not as hard as Hanzi but also not too easy.
The 3 Kingdom Restaurant
The upper thing was also yellow, I have no idea why it’s green on the pictures.
Every table has its own fume hood and barbecue grill.
So many people are running around in the restaurants but no one takes care of your clothes. You always have to put them over your chair. I did it and then someone came and put this thing over my coat to “protect” it. Weird.
Free appetizers.
Gou rou, dog meat. No one wanted to order it and I only eat dogs when I can kill them myself. :-P
A waitress cooked the vegetables at another table, away from the meat.
The barbecue was changed very often. The waitresses came with a new one, put the meat on it and took the used one away.
Korean cutting the meat.
You eat the things wrapped in a lettuce leaf.
No idea why our Koren friend poured her tea in her rice.

First Day of School
We only sang pinyin and my Korean classmates repeated every single Chinese syllable the teacher said. Even when it was in the middle of a sentence. I don’t know if they understood the teacher at all as their English is not the best. Too bad, we could hardly talk.
Dynamic Korea
I know it’s an ad, but it’s a good one. It really makes me want to go there.
