Just Arrived in possibly the most cold corner of the planet! Cant keep my eyes open! Tasting weird food and loving life! Travelled for plus minus 24 hours, and placed myself 7 hours in the future. I have already tasted the 'famous' Kimchi which for those of you who dont know, is fermented cabbage. It sound gross but in South Korea they make it spicy. SO ITS ABSOLUTELY HORRID! ha ha that being said my tastebuds have certainly gone on an interesting adventure! I have been here for two nights and have tasted all the sea and land animals that Korea has to offer.
It was my birthday yesterday, which turned out to be an absolutely great day. Three friends and I went on a mission to find food and beer as all we reieved at the orientation was.... well we not really sure. We entered the streets of Jeonju to find that we could see no bars, strange but eventually we noticed signes with beer logos on them. We chose to follow them into a dodgy building, where we were met by a bowing Korean. We strangely found ourself bowing back and ending up in a little black room with tables and a bar. We ate the most amazing Sweet and Sour 'pork' and shared a massive container of beer.
The next day we had dinner with all the EPIC recruits and I was presented with a present by the organizers. It is a bussines card holder which is mainly comprised of abalone. It is called NajeonchiQlgi which signifies harmony of different forces. It is such an amazing gift and it is deeply seated in Koreas history.
Its been a ride so far. Cant wait to see what comes later
