I ate pig-spine soup Friday night about midnight. It sounds disgusting, but it's really just their way of saying ham soup. What a great translation, though. And I tried soju for the first time. The best way to describe it, besides calling it the devil, is to compare it to schnapps for the Germans or vodka for the Russians. Koreans drink it as an accompaniment to many meals. You can't really taste it initially, and once you take a bite of any food after the shot, you don't even realize you just drank a shot of liquor. THAT's why it's also the devil. :0)

Having my first bout of homesickness, too. It's only been a week and I only have a week left until Andy gets here, but having 2 free days on the weekend and not really knowing anyone yet makes it harder. Miss everyone and hope some of you decide to come visit us here!

Love,
Becca
