For those who know me, eating and drinking are two separate events not to be held together. Tonight, I was treated to the unique experience of eating and drinking together, not by choice but I had to run for the orange juice after taking a bite of my super hot and spicy chicken wings! I'm so glad I have finally found food that was worthy of being called spicy... every time I order a dish the Koreans say no, no, no you don't want that... it's too spicy, you won't like it. I even had a waiter say he pitied me when he took my order. But tonight, I nodded and told the lady very good when she told me that this was very spicy, I had my preconception of spicy and went off home with my spicy chicken wings and cup of dumpling (not sure if it was chicken and veggie or just veggie). Sat down on the floor and popped open the containers. Rather expensive meal at 10,000 won,
but I just wanted to try something new and being literally a 45 second walk from my front door I was hoping it was something good to break the rice and curry staple of my diet, which although very good becomes quite monotonous, but I digress. Upon opening up my cup of dumplings and pouring this "BB sauce" which was a sort of spicy mustard, I think, over the top and start munching away and looking at the wings steaming in their container and dreading switching from chopsticks to fingers. Opting to finish up the dumplings first and giving the wings time to cool off, I make ready for the stickiness with a batch of paper towels. 
With the first bite, unprepared for the burst of heat, I immediately start sweating. Now we have some heat that isn't based on red pepper paste! MmmmMmmmm! I finish the first of four wings and feel the burn in my stomach already and the sweet bliss of it all sends me running to the fridge for the bottle of OJ because I can't quite do it without a little cooling. Yes, I know I am a wuss, but it felt so good to be a wuss! Until next time... Annyong Hasayo!

You made your pictures go in the right places!! SOY glad you found a different variety of foods for your belly. I'm sure there are many more to be had, so keep exploring! You should look up Anthony Bourdain and see if he traveled anywhere around there trying local food! Then you can be your own show!! :D
OH!! By the way...i saw a commercial for McD's in another country (not sure which one) and they serve FRIED CHICKEN there! Like the real deal KFC kinda thing! Crazy!
did i really use the words "real deal" and "KFC chicken" in the same sentence and referring to one another....sad.
