Eating Out

Seoul is full of great things to eat. Some of the things we know what they are. Some, well, we're not so sure about. Not only have we been introduced to new things to eat, but to new ways to order and eat them. We went to an outlet store right across the street from where we live. They have a food court kind of thing there. You order at the front where there is a display case showing you all the different kinds of food you can get and what it costs. You tell them what you want and pay and they issue you a number. Once you find a table, you sit and wait for your number to pop up on the number board. Once you see it pop up, you go see which window it has popped up at and retrieve your food. It seems like a bit of work, but it is actually very efficient. It is also extremely cheap. We usually spend about 9,400 won, which is about $8 for me and the kids to eat. It is so yummy! I included a picture of Ethan slurping some long noodles from his bowl. So cute. As I was taking pictures of the restaurant, I saw what we actually see all the time. Koreans use chop sticks for everything. Really. Here, I captured a young woman using her chop sticks to eat her french fries. Funny!
