Evening out the back gate



Korean Puppy wants Popeyes! We see him working the strip whenever we go off base. This street also has a 24 hour McDonalds. I hear they deliver too. Well, not on base, but to you house.






On Saturday night we went out the back gate to do some night shopping. Now we know that's when the area really wakes up. The shops are still open. Then street vendors come to line the walk ways, waiting for all the people who are in the bars upstairs. It's a pretty fun atmosphere.


Let me comment on Yaki Mandu. It's my new favorite Korean food. Here is a link to a Korean lady making Yaki Mandu. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zECZXmDmHR0

The vendors bring them out and cook them right in front of you. Mike found out the hard way, how much heat they retain. Burned his mouth when he bit into one right out of the hot oil.


Most of the bars here in Korea have what are called Juicy Girls. In some clubs they just sit with you or play pool with you; in others, they dance, put on various types of shows, but all are doing the job for a disgustingly low salary. They are contracted from Russia, Philippines, Malaysia, Nepal, and various places in Korea just to name a few. Some actually enjoy doing it, some are paying off debts that were incurred by themselves or their family. We see some of them getting their dinner before going to work when going out to do night shopping. There are even groups of volunteers that come out from base, to check up on the young Airmen and make sure they don't over do it when out drinking with the Juicy Girls. No pictures of Juicy Girls for this blog.
