Homestay
I woke up kind of late from the party we had last night which actually lasted until 4 am. Even thought I was tired, my host buddy dragged me out of bed because we had to be at his house around lunch time. Actually, for the next two days, I will do homestay at his family's house. I am not the only one doing homestay at my hostbuddy's house. My friend Yu will also do a homestay with my hostbuddy.One of the first things we did when we got to my hostbuddy's(Hwa mwyung) house, was cook lunch. His mother taught us how to make bulgogi and prepare other items that are eaten with bulgogi. Bulgogi seems to be pretty easy to make. You just have to marinate some beef in some ingredients, and then cook it. Preparation time takes less than 15 minutes. Amazing!
After lunch, we met up with a friend of Hwa Myung and went to a board game cafe. In Korea, this seems to be a popular past time for college students and people on a date. The have almost every board game thats hot right now and they have more than one set, so you don't have to worry about waiting for someone to return a game set. Interestingly enough, we decided to play Jenga. A fun thing about Jenga over here is that if you lose, you get hit by this gigantic orange hammer. Afterwards, we decided to play this game called Halli Galli which was quite fun because I won quite a lot.Afterwards, we went back to Hwa Mwyung's house and had dinner. When we arrived back to his house, we met had dinner with his mother and his father. They were really warm and laughed quite a bit. The mother is an awesome cook. She made Bulgogi again, except this time, she made it with duck instead of beef. I have not had duck in years, so I was quite happy that she made it for us. The only downside was that I didn't get to see how she made it. But I guess it shouldn't be too different from how she made lunch.
Afterwards, we went outside for a stroll and decided to rent a movie. We rented "Meet the Flockers" on DVD. However, half way through the movie, everyone fell asleep, so we didn't get to finish the movie. Don't know what we are doing tomorrow, but so far, homestay has been awesome.
