Korea Part Deux

There will be another part or two to my Korea adventure, I still haven't covered Lottemart, The Juicy bars, or bulgogi.  Since Aaron was in Korea During Chirstmas and I came on january 2nd.  We celebrated Christmas in His doorm room once we had made our journey through Seoul, Osan, and lotteworld.  Aaron was stationed at Kunsan AirBase about 20 minutes from Kunsan city, and about 10 minutes from A-town which is short for America Town. 



This was our "christmas"  I brought the "Tree" which I got at Barnes and Noble.  All the wrapped presents are ones I brought in my second suitcase.

Lots of snow while we were there. 


Ahh this is a picture of some of his friends at Dasarongs which was in Kunsan city. There is a button you have to press to get people to wait on you.

Gluttonous Chicken with some cabbage covered in some weird sauce.

Jicima and Chicken fingers.  This is their idea of "American" food

South Korea!

I've mentioned that Aaron spent 13 months in south Korea with the Air Force.  I think I might have also mentioned that I was lucky enough to spend a month there with him.  Here are a few pictures of my trip to Korea I will explain where each picture was taken and what exactly is in it.



This was taken Literally 10 hours after I landed in Seoul.  We went to bed, and went into town to eat.  This was near Youngsan/Garrison which is located just outside of Seoul, it is an Army base.  We had to spend a few days there waiting on a piece of luggage.  This was my first taste of soju, and trying beef on a leaf.


This is what I saw when we first sat down to eat.  The thing in the far left top corner is the raw beef, that they cook on a grill at the table.  On the left in the front is Kimchi, there are many different varieties and some of it is quite good.  The middle top is some pickled bean sprouts.  The top Right is some dried seaweed. The bottom right is some noodles in a maynaisse sauce.  The bottom middle is fresh seaweed.  Not pictured are the leaves you put this all on and the rice also.



This is a picture of Aaron and I at Lotte World.  Lotte is like walmart or Disney, they have their hand in everything.  This is an amusement park that is open 365 days a year...On this particular day it was 18 degrees and we rode the Steepest woode rollar coaster in the world.  The T express.  It was a total blast even though it was freezing.



This is a picture of another beef on a leaf resteraunt and the ever present Soju, this is common fare in Korea although it's not very filling.  Later I will post some pictures of Bulgougi which is extra tasty and very filling.
