Leaving for Seoul

Eleven Days Away From Korea

Finishing the final preparations for our class to travel to South Korea May 16. Thanks to Zach for bringing some delicious kimchi to class and for everyone's food history presentations. We are all looking foward to eating lots of tasty Korean dishes, and especially trying new foods. The itinerary will soon be updated on the blog so that you can see all the details. Everyone downloaded the Kakao Talk app so that we can communicate while in Seoul. That turned out to be so much fun with all the fun Kakao emojis. What are you looking forward to the most?  For me - bike ride on the Han with ChiMac; trying army stew, going to the Hello Kitty Cafe with Cleveland!

 

Can't you just see Cleveland in this place!

2nd class A trip to Sobahn restaurant

After culture presentations on various sites in Seoul by students. Professor Winter lectured on food packaging and design. We ended the class with a great Korean meal to sample a few common dishes.

Looking forward to traveling with this group

Wow - we have an awesome group. Everyone is so open to exploring and trying new things. I think we'll have a wonderful time together. Just booked some great food tours for us - BBQ, Korean pancakes and patbingsu on our first full day in Korea for our night food tour - we'll be eating our way through the university district. 

First night of class

Trying some Korean snacks - I think I like the savory snacks best - especially the shrimp one, but I also like the corn snack that tastes like Bugles, but less salty. 

Korean restaurant night

So busy eating the good food that I forgot to take photos. This is all thats left

First Night - Ethiopian Food at Blue Nile

Fall class begins. A great group of students at their first restaurant outing.
