What kind of restaurant makes you cook your own food?

If you go for meat in Korea, these kinds! Bill Murray and Scarlett Johanneson's characters from Lost in Translation would not be amused. We went for Kalbi, which is beef short ribs I think. It's SO good. You grill the meat at your table and then you get lots of veggie side dishes. You put the meat in a piece of lettuce and add rice, some green onions or garlic maybe, some soybean paste (it's good I swear) and whatever else you feel like putting in. Wrap it all up and pop it in your mouth. SO good. The picture is of Samgyupsal, which is a thicker cut of pork. It was at the table next to us, but you get an idea of what you do at the table. This is me and Alicia. She's one of the Korean English teachers at school. She's also helping me do some of the translations from work because they're so hard. Even she thinks they're difficult and she's bilingual! The last picture is of the ridiculous accumulation of soju bottles from the table next to us that 10 businessmen were sitting at. When they left, the ladies filled up a CASE with the empty bottles. That is 36 bottles of liquor...and they say Asians have low tolerance...





And Spencer has just told me that "jass" is a real word. Oops. I still don't know if it was on purpose or not...
