    Lmao you know when I came back I tried to bring some makgeolli with me, but because of how their bottles are designed they all exploded in my bag and I found out they don't like being stored sideways. Thankfully that all happened the day before I had to take the flight back so I had another drinking party with my family over there.

    Shit one of the finest and weirder things I did was hiking through Sinheungsa temple at the base of Seoraksan mountain and finding a little coffee shop that's home to one of the world's internationally recognized masters of coffee brewing. Just spending the half hour watching him make a cup of coffee and enjoying it was one of the highlights of that day, besides hiking up the trails and seeing the clear reflecting ponds surrounded by those spikey mountains.

      Damn. I never made it out there. But I did know a cafe owner who was unusually obsessed with coffee. He had like a bunch of special and unique roasting machines which were made in Germany and he also planned to expand his business all over the world, even though my wife said that he owed everyone in town a lot of money. He would slurp his coffee so quickly it would almost make a whistling sound. His cafe was good but expensive. Two people could go through more than $50 there just drinking a few cups of coffee and eating some bread. We were supposed to tutor his entire staff in English which would have been an amazing gig but after meeting with him and seemingly having a decent time he never followed up with us.
