Chicken Parts and Kimchi
Yesterday Jennifer and I had our first day of training at our school. It's a great school and the kids are adorable. We have a full curriculum to follow with plenty of materials. Today we had our first Korean lesson and we did quite well. On our way to Korean we tried to find something to eat and ended up in a Chinese restaurant unknowingly. We pointed to the only picture on the menu that looked appetizing (chicken with vegetables) and instead recieved the most disgusting meal yet. There was fried chicken parts in a sauce with a few vegies for good measure. What I mean by parts is necks, feet, hearts, mystery parts, yuck. It was disguised by the breading so I took a bite and munched down on bones and strange textured things that were not chicken by my standards. Oh well....another lesson learned. Chinese food in Korea is horrible. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that everything you order in this country comes with kimchi (fermented spicy cabbage). It's quite disgusting but apparently it's rude to ask the waiters not to bring it. I feel bad just wasting it each time. Yesterday Jennifer and I ordered some soup that had peanuts and random sealife floating in it. I think we've already both lost weight as a result of the unavailable tasty food.
