mugol (eat more!)

food was a BIG part of our trip. The older people take care of the younger people by telling them to eat more. They put food on your plate as soon as its empty, before you can even ask or refuse. i learned to eat slower and always leave a little on my plate. The other thing you can count on is that there will be multiple rounds of eating. The nature of my trip only added to such truth because every time i met someone new they had always prepared such a feast! we ate great food and we ate often. the meat there is so tasty and we ate a lot of seafood too. at times the seafood was a bit of a stretch, but you have to try everything. the fruit in korea was awesome. it was apple, orange and pear season. they were all so juicy and fresh. we ate fruit after every meal. if we went out to dinner than we ate it when we got home. one time my sister put a plate full of apples in front of antonia and i. we were eating, watching tv, enjoying the yumminess. next thing you know the rest of my family gathers around. i look at the plate. there were only 4 or 5 slices left! whoops, i guess those apples were for everyone. i couldn't believe we ate almost the whole plate. they make it so easy with these cute mini forks they bring out especially for dessert. i have already been craving meat and as for the fruit i found some korean pears at costco, but i haven't tried them yet. i don't want them to ruin how i remember such amazing fruit and i think next week i'm hitting korea town for some bbq.
