Kingsley and I ate incredibly well in Korea. Several trips to Korea later, and I have developed a deep abiding appreciation for Korean cuisine.

One evening we experienced a VERY fresh seafood sashimi dinner.  In fact it was so fresh I was a little startled to discover that the sea cucumber I had put on my plate was still squirming a bit.  Evidently Kingsley is no stranger to the "still twitching adventures" placed in front of him on his many travels but it was certainly a first (and second) for me.  Even with the slight twitch as our dinner slid town our throats, we couldn't help but go back to the same restaurant a few nights later because the quality of the seafood was so incredible!



Another evening involved a traditional Korean BBQ dinner where one is supposed to grill the beef at the table.  It was immediately apparent that Kingsley and I didn't have the slightest idea what we were doing so the "cooking" task was taken over by several of the servers who kept stopping by every few minutes with excuses of delivering a new dish, or refilling our soju cups, but it was evident that the main focus was to make sure Kingsley and I didn't get in the way of cooking our beef perfectly.  And WOW was the beef amazing when we were finally given permission to eat it!

We knew we were in for an amazing meal when we first sat down and noticed that the guy at the table next to us had loosened his belt and undone his pants in order to...better accommodate...the amazing Korean BBQ dinner.  That in itself was sight to behold (and sadly not appropriet to photograph) but our Korean beef dinner was truly a spectacular meal.

I also unknowingly impressed the wait staff by requesting a refill on their homemade kimchi (which was amazing!).  I doubt they had ever seen a blond girl eat so much kimchi in one sitting and they clucked like proud mother hens every time I went for another additional helping.
