We went across town to a small but lively resturaunt to have a delicious Korean meal: it's called Samgyupsal! Who likes bacon? Well with this meal, they give you uncooked pork, that you put on a hot plate on your table to cook it (it's tilted so lots of fat runs off), along with other vegetables and kimchi. Then you take the cooked meat, dip it in some sauce, and with whatever vegetables you like, wrap it in some lettuce, and eat it! It's so good! They kept bringing on the meat! We were so blessed!

What they do with the leftover meat and veggies is that they add rice and spice and mix it all up to make something called (I think) Bibimbap. Somehow, after feeling so full, you find that you're somehow able to eat this awesome mix of food! I think it's a mental thing--a different way of looking at it. The bacon-lettuce rolls perhaps seem much more filling then they are or something!
And here's Mike and Mangyu (aka Mario)! Mario is a cool guy. He loves to hang out with us, and it's a blessing to have him. It's sweet to spend time with people from church (and even with those who aren't)! There's such an opportunity to share with them in spiritual things, and we get to disciple guys and see them grow in Christ. Many Koreans here know English in different degrees, some very well, some not so well, or some not at all. Many desire to learn. Pray that the language barrier would be overcome as we seek to teach the Bible to the people here.
After we ate, we walked down to a certain open-air market called Shijang...late at night, when everything was closing/closed down. But it was cool to see. We bought a few things. Open-air markets are where you can bust out your bargaining skills, get fresh meals and cheap deals! just...not so much at night, for not so many people are there.
