Chicken Hof


Due to still not having been paid, we took it easy in the weekend and spent it in Suwon.  Nick came round and stayed on Saturday night and took us out for Buldalk (literal translation: fire chicken) and beer at the local Hof, only 30seconds down the road.


This was the owner.  He was so friendly and kind to us.  People seem genuinely really happy to meet foreigners in Korea, which makes going out a lot better.  

He showed me where the toilet was because each food place doesn't have their own, just the building toilets.  I was impressed he knew the english words "left" and "right".  He was unimpressed I didn't even know the word for bathroom.

This is Cam and Nick and some Korean english teacher we met at our Hof.  He was there with a class of about 8 korean girls he had taken out for chicken at around 10.30 on a Saturday night.  Sound weird?  We thought so too.

He was friendly though, and seemed real bashful so we forgave him.


This is Nick pouring Cam beer from a HUGE jug.  It's 3 litres and they put it inside a protective jug due to the quantity.

What you have to do is ask for a pitcher of beer, and we they show you one say "bigger" and make international hand gesture for bigger, and then when they show you the next size up repeat again until you get the monster.


On Sunday we went to the Suwon Fortress (a minimal amount of it, however).  We'll post another blog of that when we can work out how to rotate our photos on Cam's mac (stupid things).
