Pottery Museum and Minhwa Museum

At this museum, my school gave me a thirty thousand won voucher a for things from the gift store. So, I used it as a gift for my grandparents. At this point, I was honestly not sure what to get for family back home, then I came across something that caught my eye at last.

Source This is an example of the what I found. I couldn't take photos in the shop, so I had to find this to show you guys. What I bought was this print on wood with gold flaking and a think wood frame to it. I think that my grandparents will love it!

Gangjin City (강진군)

The city is located right on the Southern coast, so I could get some photos of boasts and the land on the opposite side. Unfortunately, the weather was pretty cloudy and my contacts needed to be replaced, so I had to take them out that day. The good thing was, is that we didn't come here for sight-seeing. We came here to eat!

The Food

Of course, coming to a coastal city, we would eat some fresh fish! This first dish was interesting because it seems like a stew at first, but how you eat it is with lettuce wraps like samgyeupsal (삼겹살). I did not expect this, and it was delicious!

The next dish was a stew with whole fishes and served with bowls of rice to eat it with. Similiar in taste to the last dish, with the exception of the kind of fish and how you eat it.

Behind my bowl you can see two glasses, one for makgeolli, and one for soju. My co-workers asked if I wanted to drink. I said both, so my co-workers took it as a kind of challenge to see how much I could drink. I didn't have much of a problem keeping up though as we finished a few bottles. Usually, they don't drink a lot, so it took me by a bit of surprise, and I enjoyed it a lot. I felt more comfortable with my Korean when I drank and connected with my co-workers more. Coming back home, I took a long deep sleep and got my new contacts the next day!

I tend to write about life in Korea as a foreigner, food, photos from trips, and things teaching related. If that interest you and you like this post, please give me a vote and follow
