Sorry guys, i've been gone for a while. 2 weeks in Korea, just got back Saturday, and before that, a long slog on house projects and fixing the kid's truck AGAIN. I never seem to be able to get away from that thing.
Now that i'm back, first order of business was finish putting the daily back together, and pick up the pieces. I have a broken bolt in a cylinder head to fix on the kids truck and it's not cooperating. Of course i'm getting hammered by the kid to get it done. He's "on the spectrum" so of course he is irritated and all out of sorts that his world is wrecked without normalcy.
Lots of stuff to catch up on. Clean shop and garage, get boiler and house HVAC project done asap, etc.
I'll see if i can add some Korea photos.
Welcome back! Did you eat any kimchi? Bulgogi? Korean BBQ? Bimbimbap?

Lots of kimchi, nobody wanted to get us BBQ. No bulgogi but i do like it. No bibimbap. I did fish a baby octopus out of one dish. NOPE.

One of the most interesting and delicious meals I had in Korea was at a Mexican/Korean fusion restaurant just off base in Yongsan (Seoul) - kimchi chili cheese fries. Sounds nasty but it was good as hell!

That's too bad that you didn't get to have Korean BBQ, as that's almost the same as standing in front of a grill at home, cooking a variety of meats that are delicious! Were the leaders too cheap to go for BBQ?
I agree with you on the octopus, same with squid. At least it was recognizable to fish it out!
I'm heading to China in Sept, there's a good chance we'll have Korean BBQ at some point on the trip. The last 2 times I've flown to China, I've connected through Korea on the way. I had a delicious breaded & fried pork cutlet in that airport.
Good luck on the home front, hopefully the trip gave you a chance to reflect and reprioritize to some degree.

Actually i was looking for a Mexican restaurant that wasn't in Seoul, but couldn't find one. That seems to be one of the few cuisines that is not well represented there. I was able to get a good burger and a decent pizza. That's a lot better than my 2006 visit, where i wasn't able to get a decent burger anywhere. I had one in Seoul on the last day there in '06, Lotteria, and it was not good. The whole country is obsessed with BBQ sauce. But it's not like our BBQ sauce, it's soy sauce based. So it's its own thing. Not really my interest.One of the most interesting and delicious meals I had in Korea was at a Mexican/Korean fusion restaurant just off base in Yongsan (Seoul) - kimchi chili cheese fries.

Mexican food seems to be difficult to find overseas, but there were two Mexican restaurants in Itaewon, a large restaurant district just off-base in Seoul. There were a few burger restaurants in the same area.
On a related note, when we lived in Naples, there was one Mexican restaurant in the area, but it was about an hour away and they closed while we were stationed there. Southern Italy was actually very limited when it came to restaurant choices. The locals couldn't imagine why anyone would want to eat anything other than traditional southern Italian fare, so if you were jonesing for something other than pizza and pasta, it wasn't easy to find an alternative.

Thats funny when I was stationed in Gaeta people would make special trips to the Naples Base to eat in the Wendy's. It was wierd to hear people bitching about food in the center of the best cuisine in the world.Mexican food seems to be difficult to find overseas, but there were two Mexican restaurants in Itaewon, a large restaurant district just off-base in Seoul.
