A real egg roll

Sunday night we went out with another local Korean that Louis knew along with two other girls in the program (Sophie and Jamie). Joon (Louis's friend) took us to a typical Korean restaurant where you sit on the floor, share large communal dishes and drink. That is what a real egg roll looks like. Its called gyeranmari which literally means egg roll. Its like an omelet only it is huge. Its a giant sheet of egg that you then wrap something with: kimchi, chicken, beef, cheese. We got half kimchi and half cheese, it was delicious. The roll is served on a wash board for doing laundry by hand with raw garlic, green chilies, hot chili paste, sweet and sour sauce and it is topped with ketchup oddly enough. We also got a meat dish, a type of Galbi which was shredded meat packed together, marinated and grilled.

Then the fun started. We ordered some Soju (rice liquor similar to sake but the Korean version) and Joon taught us a couple of Korean drinking games while more Soju and beer kept coming to the table.
