Bugs?? Why not?

When in Rome.... or should I say, When in Korea, do as the Koreans do...

Even after saying I would NEVER eat a bug... I DID IT!!! Well... Trevor squeezed the juice out of it first, and then I ate it... But the important part is I ate it!! And it wasn't even that bad!! The bugs we ate were actually boiled larva... apparently a lot of Korean children really enjoy them.

AND to add to this, we even ate cow intestines!!! When we first ordered them, we didn't actually know what we had ordered. When it came to the table, as we watched it cook, we took guesses as to what it could be.. My guess was cow intestines. We later found out that I was right... and strangly enough, I was ok with it. Funny part is that just this past weekend, we ended up at a different restaurant, in a DIFFERENT town and accidentally ended up having them again!!!! They just seem to be everywhere... hahaha

Just this past Friday, Trevor and I went to the usual bar, Red Rock where the other foreigners go. Later in the night we were invited to another bar called Montana's. This bar was more like a smaller, crazier version of Bucks, but with more strobe lights. The bar was really fun, but we slowly learned that Koreans dance a bit differently than Canadians. Originally, I had left Red Rock with 4 other girls, and Trevor and some other guys were going to meet us afterwards. So us girls were dancing and soon a group of Korean guys started circling us... Literally!!! They joined hands and danced around us!! They slowly began to push in on our circle so we quickly broke their circle up. Oddly enough, this wasn't even the craziest part of the night. At one point in the night, Trevor and I were dancing, and another guy came up and joined us! Basically, to draw a picture for you-->[TrevorMeKorean Guy]. This was a little different for us but we just laughed... The funniest part was when this guy took a sip of Trevor's beer!!!! It's rare to see a guy share his beer with another guy.... let alone with a guy he doesn't know!!! Regardlessl... it was a really fun night!!!
