Saturday night we went to another traditional Korean restaurant with Jasmine, James and his girlfriend Sook Yang. We had an endless variety of foods, finishing it all off with bamboo rice. It's rice cooked in bamboo cups. The bamboo gives it a slightly sweet taste and a pinkish colour. After that we met up with some more Korean friends and went a block away to continue eating, this time muscles and shell fish. Amazingly, we didn't drink at all during dinner, but as soon as we hit the shell fish restaurant we began to drink the night away. Or at least until midnight, a relatively early ending. I think weekends are going to be like this for the rest of November, with all of their friends wanting to say good-bye to Rob and Terry. I know next weekend we are finally going to the newly relocated beer bar that was featured in the first weekend photo set. Their moving is done and they actually opened the beginning of this week, but we are going on Saturday night to drink into the wee small hours with friends.
This is the bamboo rice restaurant we went to. It was by far the nicest looking restaurant I've been to since I arrived in Korea.

This is right at the end of the meal. Jasmine and I are showing off our bamboo rice. We actually got the keep the cups. Terry and I both have three.

A shot of our grill cooking up the assorted goodies. I'm not really a sea food man, but I've made the choice that while in Korea, just suck it up and eat things.

Jasmine, Terry and I sitting around the fire. It was a cool night outside, but with heaters and our own grills going in the tent, it was nice and warm.

Us around the grill again. Behind Rob is Kim Do-Kyu who also went karaoke'ing with us on Halloween. He just didn't make the photo cut that night.

James with his girlfriend Sook Yang, and myself. They we were with us at the bamboo rice restaurant as well.

Everyone got one glove for the meal. Rob and Terry showing them off. The gloves kept you from burning your fingers when trying to eat the shell fish. It was a hand and chopsticks job, alone, neither could succeed.

This picture unfortunately turned out a little blurry. We were a company of nine by the end of the night. Here's everyone but myself and a Korean girl who didn't want to be in any pictures. The tent behind them is the shellfish restaurant.
