Eating Live Squid

30 March 2008

About two weeks ago we hung out with our good friend Min Kim. We had not seen her since we did some summer sessions together at the University of Hawai‘i. Min was born in Seoul and made for an excellent tour guide around the city. We talked a lot about the intricacies of Korean life and how we all miss living on Oah’u.

Then on a whim we decided to try some sannakji 산낙지, or live squid! Watch the video to see how much we enjoyed it and how we are now hopeless addicts! Min also introduced us to a new kind of herbal soju, sansachun, which really helped wash down the tentacled fellows.

It was really great to meet Min in her home country and have a Korean friend! We hope to visit with her again soon!

To get an idea of what it is like to teach English to Asian children everyday, we present this enjoyable video. Just to be clear, we did not create this video, but instead learned of it when studying for our TEFOL certificate.

The Doctor is In

6 March 2008

Something everyone must experience in  Seoul is Doctor Fish Café. It is a small coffee shop tucked away in plushy Gangnam where you go and have your tea and strumpets, then strip off your socks only to have sea creatures nibble on your nubbins for a half an hour. But as soon as you stick your feet in, you will be laughing hysterically.

Doctor Fish are often used in spas in Turkey, Japan or China to eat your dead skin, leaving the healthy skin to grow. Check out the video to see the fun we had.
