I guess we always knew it was going to happen sooner or later. We have been frequenting a local restaurant that the foreigners here simply call "The Orange Store". We were on our way home form our Korean lesson and were feeling pretty good about the progress of our
reading skills. We noticed a new item on the menu and sounded out the words nak-ji dup bop. We know that dup bop means rice and the picture looked like a fairly delicious chicken and rice dish so we thought we would give it a whirl.After we had placed our order I started thinking a little more about this nak-ji and took out our
trusty dictionary. Sure enough, we had ordered stir fried octopus and rice. It didn't taste too bad but it sure was chewy. I'm not certain if it was all in my head but my insides weren't feeling fantastic for the next few hours (bait will do that to you).Moral of the story.... Consult Korean dictionary before ordering food you don't know the name of!

Hi Cindy and Brett, yes we have been reading but admit to being a bit slack with the comments lately. Sounds like you two just about know enough about Korea just to get you into trouble! It also sounds like you are having an absolutely fantastic time despite some of the obvious dramas. Things back in Oz are all fine, with daylight saving now in full swing and everyone getting tired and cranky and of course the curtains are fading due to all the extra exposure to the sun. WE all thought summer was here but this week we have had some cold and wet weather. Seems ridiculous at school forcing kids to wear hats in the playground when there is more chance of frostbite than sunburn!!! Cheers for now Graeme and Margaret
