A soup for everything that ales you

Alright so im slightly under the weather at the moment but hoping to be up and on par again soon. This head cold has got me down in the dumps. but i went to the doctor today and got some meds... The cool thing about Korean is it cost me 4000 won (like 3.50 US dollars) for medication.... the down side is, well... there isn't any to be honest, they just need to proof read the stuff before they post it on boxes.








On a less depressing note, i've been eating some awesome grub here recently. I was worried at first because it didn't seem like people got out much here but i was warned to wait until it warms up a little more and it would change. And they were right. These people keep very busy here. My weeks are quickly blown away by countless events, parties, dinners and things to do. Further more there are usually options of things to do and who to do them with. Yeosu has a very healthy sized population of foreigners and so it is always easy to find something to do.  For example, this weekend involved a beach barbeque party, hiking, a Beetles themed birthday party, more beach grilling out today and then all topped off with an amazing low country style boil with crab, shrimp, corn and potatoes... good times good times... alright so most of these pics of from tent restaurants which are just super awesome little natural disaster tents they setup permanently and run business in, usually restaurants or bars...

This is soup. The name is Hajeongok (doubt i spelled it correctly but they call it hang over soup) and it is amazing. Not to mention it comes with all of thee sides... so you pay 5 bucks for a steaming bowl of soup and get an entire buffes of sides to go with it...






This other one is called bolgolgi soup. and it is equally amazing. with an almost sweet/savory light broth and marinated beef strips with glass noodles and some peppers and onions. Same price as the other and out of this world.








And this is raw Abalone, i wouldn't recommend this to anyone i liked but am still glad i can say i ate a few (2.5 who ones to be honest, couldn't finish my last one). They are chewy to the point i would describe it as crunchy and i spent the following 24 hours (while never actually throwing up) feeling sick to my stomach. With the taste equivalent to only what i could describe as the ocean. Taste wise it was quiet nice for sure. Just between the slim and the crunch i couldn't do anymore than that. I was told they are good for stamina and should eat a few a week if i wanted to be a good Korean... thanks but no thanks...
