A dinner with Koreans!

December 29, 2015

This past Saturday, I was invited by my Korean friends to share a dinner with them. They had bought the groceries, and they planned to cook, and eat together. At the time I got the invitation, I was just about to put my noodles on the stove, so I quickly put them back in the cupboard, threw out bowling water and oil, took a quick shower and rushed back to the kitchen. I paid 1,000 yen for my share of the meal.

I helped cook the meat in a frying pan, as well as cut the green onions into REALLY thin slices. Once everything was ready, one of the girls showed me how to make… whatever they call it and shoved one in my mouth. They took a piece of lettuce, threw in the green onions, a piece of meat and some sauce, and wrapped it all in the lettuce. I had fun making some and then pushing them into other people’s mouths.

(Haha... We had fun!)

(Cooking, cutting, talking.)

They also had made Korean soup, which was spicy, but really good. I didn’t really do this much during the semester even though this was not their first communal meal. Now this was probably the last time, but I must say that I really enjoyed it. I made new Korean friends, ate great food and had a good time just dancing while we ate and chatting about out lives. One of the many things that make this trip priceless.
