Dinner and a cramped leg

After our hike, we stopped at a sushi place. The food just kept coming. I ate some raw squid and octopus along with a number of other things I couldn't really identify. Thankfully, I'm pretty good with chopsticks, because that's all you get. I'm not sure I could ever go back to using a fork. Along with the meal, it is customary to have soju (it is a Korean alcohol made from rice). Soju really tastes like rubbing alcohol and is basically weak vodka. Drinking is a very popular thing here, and you regularly see businessmen carrying their buddies home at night. Oh, a point of interest... there is no such thing as "dutch treat" here. Koreans take turns paying for the whole meal.

Anyway, we stayed at the restaurant for many hours and eventually made our way back to Uncle Peter's apartment.

Several courses later we finally had to tell the lady to stop bringing out food


The fish head soup was actually everyone's favorite part of the meal


The restaurant was located right near the beach
