Last night we went out for dinner and and ate a traditional Korean meal known as "shabu shabu" (which in Korean means "shake shake"). It's a very family style meal. A large boiling soup bowl was placed in the middle of the table. There was a spread of fresh vegetables and rice cakes which were them dumped into the boiling broth. Every one got some really thin strips of beef which you can dip into the soup and then shake off (thus the name "shabu shabu"). It was really delicious! When you're finished eating all the beef and vegetables they pour noodles and dumplings into the pot. When you finish those they cook rice in it for you to eat, so it's a pretty filling meal. Along with galbi, this makes the list of meals we're going to take people to.

The spread. There's no room on the table for eating!
Our apartment is a mess right now since we're inheriting a lot of stuff from Brett and Abbi, who are leaving to go back to Miguk (America) on Saturday. As of now, our apartment definitely looks better, if not a bit crammed. I think we'll be saving up some new stuff for the new teacher who's coming in today.
