I am showing what I have eaten because I am a super picky eater and I want to see what all I will try while over here.

I missed breakfast at the hotel so I walked up to Dunkin Donuts and had a bagel sandwich. It wasn't like one back home but it was close.
My day was spent touring the demilitarized zone and i didnt eat there so i just went back to the hotel and had a margherita pizza. Maybe tomorrow I will have some Korean food.

We were out on the town the whole day so after eating breakfast at the hotel we had to have some american food so we went to a truly american place - Outback Steakhouse. Those were the best french fries ever.

Finally had Korean food for lunch. I had some kind of tasteless black bean porridge with fettucine type noodles. And we ate it with chopsticks. And still no semblance of a good napkin. But somehow I kept the black bean sauce off my clothes.
Dinner was interesting. We went to a nice restaurant and they started us off with a Bolgoki appetizer. Then the main dish was rice with all kinds of seafood topped with lettuce. The seafood was strange with a lot of octopus which I am not crazy about. HJ said one popular dish is to take a live octopus, cut off its tentacles, and eat it straight away. The tentacle is still wriggling around in your mouth, he said. Apparently his daughter is a huge fan of this food. :-P
Near the end of the meal HJ he said the next course was fried chicken. I didn't know what he was talking about and we paid and took off so I thought nothing of it. We wandered through the busy streets, streets that look like times square with all kinds of neon lights and signs. Then we came upon the next course - "Chicken and Beer". We sat down in this place and had fried chicken and beer. It was like their version of what a fried chicken and beer restaurant would look like in the US - paintings of women in bikinis on the wall, dance music blaring like in Abercrombie, waiters wearing hawaiian shirts. Good stuff. I said I wasn't going to eat at Hooters. Well I almost did. This was not quite as nice and the girls weren't wearing tight tshirts.

Its a beef and onion dish. I think that's popular over here.
Dinner - Bulgoki and Soju
Bulgoki is basically beef, onions, noodles, bean sprouts and broth. tasty. Soju is a rice liquor. Also tasty

Lunch - Pat Kalguksu
This is bean porridge with noodles. You eat it with chopsticks, just like everything here. I have no idea how my clothes aren't covered in food. I am glad I am good with the sticks.
