Those reports on budae jiggae, kimchi, tteokbokki, and samgyetang made my mouth water. Never tried the Army base stew (or Spam), so might have to seek that out. What is the rest of the class looking forward to tasting?
This dish was very interesting to learn about. I like the fact that it was a dish created from Americanized foods with Korean elements. I think that reviewing the money was very helpful last night so as to help us students be more aware of the use of money in South Korea. The group functions from what has been planned so far sounds wonderful. It sounds like we are going to be very busy and have a lot of good opportunity to truly explore Seoul with all it has to offer. I am personally excited to see the universities in South Korea. I have always wondered what over advance education centers looked like and how the campus layouts are compared to the schools in the United States. I also am excited to see the subway systems. I am used to some heavy and light rail traveling so it will be very interesting to see this high tech traveling system in South Korea.
Learning more about Korean cuisines is very interesting and exciting, I cannot wait to be able to try all the different types of dishes they have. Just like Addie said in class some times the things we take for granted, such as spam and hot dogs that some of us do not even think about picking up at a grocery store, other people can make a delicious dish out of. Learning about how to navigate through the subway, however I will admit it looked a little intimidating. Going over the Korean phrases was very useful, but I do need to practice some more. I am very excited to incorporate everything we have learned in class when we are in Korea and learning about their culture and all their different types of foods.
Going over the subway system was very helpful because that way I know what to expect when I get there. I have never been on a subway, so I am glad we got to see the video of how it looks like, seeing all the different signs, and the numbers that tell you the exit. Trying the different snacks and comparing it to things we have here was also fun! Learning about the common snacks seen in Seoul will be very beneficial, as Dotty said, that way I will know what snacks I want to try. Finally, reviewing the phrases was also helpful. If I do not learn all of those phrases, I at least want to make sure I learn how to say "hello" and "understand the money".
I really liked learning about the rest of the Korean foods from our presentations. it was really interesting to learn about how some foods were influence by war and famine, and how traditions have changed over the years. I was really craving some kimchi by the end of the day! I was really glad that we talked about the subway system because it seemed pretty daunting before we went through it. It really does seem like it will be pretty easy to navigate! It really got me thinking about how lucky we are that they write some of the signs in English. Here you would be lucky to have signage in Spanish, forget about Korean or any other Asian language! Going through the money again was helpful as well. That's just one less thing we'll have to stress about when we're running around. I was so excited and grateful to try some of the Korean snacks that we may come across while we're over there. I liked them all! They were really tasty! I'm so excited for the trip. We'll be in Seoul in one month!
I cannot believe that the next time we will all be in the same place together that we will be leaving for Seoul! I loved learning about the different types of common street foods and the thing I am looking forward to trying the most are the fish cakes on a stick. All of the foods in South Korea will probably taste much different than even the foods we have tried and I can't wait to see how spicy their foods are for real. Anytime I can review the langue as well as the money system I am happy because repetition is very important when learning, and with the langue learning it is nice to practice actually saying the words to people that know how to pronounce them. Learning about the subway was a bit intimidating but honestly looks like a lot of fun to ride and is a very well thought out traveling system that I was impressed to actually see how it really works. The only subway I had ever been on are the similar train system Saint Louis has that is really just a straight line type of thing. I am so excited :)
Oh, I'm so happy that the photo from my presentation got posted! It makes me feel special, haha. =) And I, too, would love to try budae jjigae. It sounds similar to the meat-stew that my family makes, only with two different sorts of meat -- hotdogs and SPAM. The research that I had done said that many restaurants for it were located on Uijeongbu Street in Seoul. Perhaps we could make a trip in our free time (hint hint)? And now that we are only 26 days away from boarding the plane, my nerves are at an all-time high. The Seoul subway system looks complicated, but I'm sure that after a few trips it will be easier to navigate. The money lesson was very welcoming, too; and I am so excited to try their street foods! Speaking of which, their Americanized snacks were unusual and interesting -- fries fried onto a hotdog? And waffle sandwiches? Wowza! Not even McDonald's or IHOP could think of that, haha. -- Addison Rhea
It is always good to learn something new. Especially when it's food. About the Spam dish I have to tell you guys that spam in Aisa is quite different from those spam relatives in america. I tried canned spam from walmart and 888 international supermarket, they taste nothing like each other even they share same name. Also I was very happy to know that korean did some cretive things to their street snack. I somehow think street snack is a very important part of one city's food culture. Looking forward to explore something new in Seoul.
