It was my friend Jy's 22nd birthday the other night, so we went out and got the traditional dish called Takalbi, which is known to be especially good in this region of the country. It's a really hot chicken dish that they cook in a grill in the middle of the table, and everyone eats directly out of the grill (with chopsticks of course.)
After dinner we all went to a large bar, where we could all sing on a personal Karaoke machine, and celebrate our young friend's birthday. (Actually, she's of average age, I'm just old compared to this group.)
Last Thursday we tested for our yellow belts and all went well. Tonight our Grand Master took us to his Do Jong (Tae Kwon Do gym) and gave them out to all of us. I must say that we still have a ways to go before we're black belts (which might be apparent from the pictures) but we are all very excited and really enjoy practice. I plan to continue when I get to Jeju Island and eventually obtain black belt status.
