So our friend Micah came back for a visit for the first time in 2 years. He's been teaching English to adorable Asian children and embracing the culture...riding around (illegally) on a scooter and travelling that part of the world. Anyway, since I picked him up from the Megabus I was given some special gifts from Seoul. Here's a sampling...

These are Silkworm Pupae (?). Apparently people boil or fry these up as a snack. Micah said they kind of explode in your mouth. Gross, dude. I wasn't brave enough to try it.

He also gave me a pack of Hot Squid Jerky. I did try this and it was pretty gnarly. Way spicier and hard to chew than our jerky, but cmon, they're dehydrated squid legs.

Last and most awesome, I got a bottle of Soju! Soju is a distilled liquor that tastes similar to vodka, but a little bit sweeter. Shared among groups of people, it's drunk straight up as a shot. Since it's usually only 20% alcohol content, these people drink several (seriously, a lot) bottles. After sharing some shots with friends, I just poured mine on the rocks and finished it. Gom Bae!
So thanks, Micah. It was good to see you again.
