Our first evening at UoU was highly successful by all accounts. First off, we ate pork at another Korean restaurant. At these places the tables are about a foot off the ground, and one is expected to sit cross-legged on the floor. For inflexible people like me, and tall people like Al, this can prove rather uncomfortable after long periods of time. Normally we would simply stretch our legs in an alternating pattern under the table. This was complicated somewhat by the fact that the basin for the red-hot charcoal cooking our food was located under the table. The choices were footsy with Al, or 3rd degree burns.
Despite this, the food was excellent and the company better. After having been fully stuffed, Mr. Seo (Our UoU contact) wanted to take us out to get know us better, and we ended up at a bar/restaurant. It is required to order some food at these places, so he placed a modest order. What arrived at our table was two giant plates of chicken salad, two whole fried chickens, two dishes of corn, be bim bop and bowls of something similar to frootloops. We were inclined to introduce Mr. Seo to the game “Quarters” or “Scat”, which meant that we needed to remove some of the food from the table. Some hours and many pitchers later, Mr. Seo was quite familiar with “Scat.”
