Real Korean Food

So if you read my earlier blog entry from today you probably read that it was near 7:15pm here and I was feeling too tired to go out to dinner with the group. Well now it's 10 and I'm home from dinner! Tonight I had my first real Korean food experience, and even though I didn't have much to eat, it was really good. So everyone met outside the dorm around 8 and it was sleeting and foggy so we were all bundled up pretty well. In total I think there were 16 or so of us and we went to this little dumpling place near campus. It was tucked away in a side alley that was completely illuminated with neon signs at night, and it seemed like more people were out and about now than during the day. So we get to this place and our entire group takes up most of the seating in the place and first we are brought some Mu, which is one of my favorite Korean appetizers. It's basically just pickled radishes and Sarah, Laura, Ellen and I tried them when we went for Korean food in Dallas earlier this month. Then our table all ordered plates of the mixed dumplings, 6 pork and 6 kimchi dumplings. They were very tasty, the kimchi was the perfect level of spiciness and the pork was really flavorful. Overall it was just fun to go out with the group, meet some more new people from all over the world, and socialize. After that the majority of the group went out for drinks, but now I am seriously tired and full so time for bed for me.
