    • If you are invited to a Korean barbacue never say no. Itīs my favourite Korean food. Itīs amazing the number of plattes they put on the table. You grill the meat on the table. Usually there are two types: pork or beef.
    How to eat it? Take a leaf with your left hand, put some meat inside, garlic and the red spicy sauce, envelop and eat it (one bite).
    Kimchi is always present in a Korean table, itīs a very spicy cabbage. Koreans use to drink Soju, arghhhh! The first day is not a problem to drink this kind of liquor but after trying it deeply one time youīll hate it!
    Sometimes after having a dinner you are
    taken to a karaoke by the locals.

    • Never serve drink to yourself!
    In a Korean meal you have to wait until someone serves you the drink, then you have to serve the other one. As far as I know drinking alcohol, Iīm not sure about non-alcoholic drinks.
    Once both of you have full glasses you can say: Konbe! (Cheers) and drink.
    There is a mixed drink called "bomb", it contains a small glass of Soju inside a bigger glass of beer. Itīs extremly dangerous... one shoot! dangerous...
    The most popular beer brand is OB Lager, pretty good!

     You are so right. Except. . . I LOVE SOJU! Everday! haha. The best thing about Korea is getting together with others and eating and drinking. They make it a real "occasion".    		heplion Mon Jan 13, 2003 13:21 UTC
