First Korean BBQ adventure

We went out for all you can eat Korean BBQ in Chinae (downtown) Gwangju last night. We tried the infamous Soju. It's like watered down vodka with a slight.. pine taste? It sells for only 1,300 KRW for a 375ml bottle and is about 20-30% alcohol. Not as bad as you might expect but also not my beloved rye whiskey.
They're really into camping in Jeollanamdo. Outside the Korean BBQ place you could, instead of a table, rent a tent and eat your dinner over a grill with your friends. 

A side dish that was served at the restaurant was silk worms and Jamie and our other Canadian comrade Torin bravely tried the delicacy first. I tried along with a few other people in the second wave. I'd have to say it was the most disgusting thing I have probably ever eaten. There was a crunch then a bunch of gritty guts... don't think I will be trying that again...ever.

Hopefully you can watch the video here:
