Farewell, Roomie!

Old pal and Yong-in roommate Max has returned stateside, and a few of us met up together in Sindaebang for a final dinner! We started at this little hof where we ate some 훈제 족발 hunje jokbal, smoked pig's feet, served with jeotgal (a fermented shrimp sauce which Koreans believe makes pig meat more digestible), kimchi and pickled peppers:


After that, we planned to hit a soup restaurant that Max likes, but it was closed (probably for the owner's "special rest time" or summer vacation) so we went back up the street to a 곱창 gopchang place. Specializes in beef intestines. We got the so modum, or beef sampler:




It was quite delicious. Here we are enjoying it, Max first (around the circle are MC, Max, Anthony, Andrew and Sun):



That wasn't quite enough food, so we threw on a couple orders of 오겹살 ogyupsal which means that instead of three bands of fat, a la samgyupsal, it has five bands--and is skin on. Even better!


After that, there was more drinking to be done, but I didn't get any pictures. Anyway, so long, Max! Get your Master's degree and hurry on back. We've got a place at the barbeque table and a cold bottle of soju waiting for you!

My name is Sharon, and I work for Huijun Communications (www.huijun.co.kr). I came across your blog, and I enjoyed reading your posts.

At Huijun Communications, we are currently in the works of creating a website (www.lifeinkorea.kr) that serves as a hub and a community for foreign nationals living in Korea. Our vision is to create a website where people can get all info and service they want through this website without need of searching and looking here and there, and through which people communicate with Koreans as well.

Many bloggers showed their interest and joined in our website by posting their articles to share with others, and I would like to invite you to do the same.

Your participation will be greatly appreciated, and we offer complimentary Culture gift cards for bloggers who work with us. For more details, feel free to email me at lucykim4323@gmail.com.
