Recent food "adventures" with the teachers ^^

My new favourite Korean food is 감자탕 (gamjatang) -which means potato soup. The fact its name is potato soup is strange though because it's not actually served with many potatoes but instead consists of lots of yummy pork spine meat. It's quite spicy and I definitely wouldn't have been able to eat it a year ago but it's absolutely delicious and I can't get enough of it these days. Until the other week, I'd only ever had it at school for lunch, but a new 감자탕 restaurant has just opened five minutes from me so I went with a few of the teachers to check it out. And it was amazing. Ahhh, I want to go again now looking at these pictures...

감자탕 cooking nicely in the middle of the table!

My serving. Ga Yeong had to help me with the bones.... eeeeeeeeew!

Chingus!

Ian was happy with the 감자탕 "adventure," too! Hehehe.

After our Open School the other week we went out for a big school dinner to a sashimi restaurant. I'm more of a meat girl myself (and had never even tasted sashimi before coming to Korea!) but the food was nice. The Soju was nicer though...

Soju from the Principal is a MUST!

LOVE this picture!!! Ga Yeong was very surprised by my 'one shotting' hehe!

... more Soju but not like I need it by the look on my face...

... and more! But I can't refuse. It's considered rude...

Persuading Ga Yeong to drink! I'm such a bad influence! Haha! 

The other day all of the school teachers headed to Bukchon for an afternoon of walking and exploring. Unfortunately I couldn't partake in that part of the trip but I could join in with what came afterwards... dinner! :)

On the way to the restaurant in Bukchon...

갈비탕 (galbitang) -beef rib soup! DELICIOUS! 

Whether it's just dinner with a few friends from the office or whole school dinners, it's always a really happy time. I love my school :)
