Above is the lobby of the
POSCO building. It is a beautiful, contemporary building and the small
tvs in the lobby flash colorful pictures of flowers every 10 seconds. The only job of the receptionists in the first picture is to answer simple questions in Korean and to look beautiful. They are perfectly manicured down to the last hair on their stylish heads.
Andres, an intern from Columbia, took us to an amazing Korean
bbq restaurant by the
Sinchon exit. We ate several types of beef, pork, octopus, and squid, along with many
delicious sauces and side dishes. I actually really enjoy grilled octopus, but I am not a huge fan of squid. Dog is also a traditional meat eaten by Koreans, but most young Koreans will not eat it.
Mixing
soju into beer is called
poktanju and is a common practice. There are other words for describing a shot of beer into a glass of
soju or a shot of
soju into a glass of beer. Wine is very expensive in Korean because it is all imported. In Korean culture, you take a girl to a wine bar if you really want to impress her.
Drinking on the street is legal in Korea and is fairly common. Koreans also aren't one to watch their limits and it is even more common to see multiple people throwing up outside of a bar or club.
