Native teachers goodbye!
On my last Monday in Korea we went out for lunch together. I wasn’t the only native teacher leaving SNFL: it was a goodbye for three of us. After lots of umming about where to go, we ended up in a Korean restaurant in Jeongja, 5 minutes from Sunae. I’d been there once before when Tiger (Korean teacher) took me for lunch and as you can see from the dishes on the table it was typical Korean style, many many dishes for everyone to share. The really cool thing with this restaurant was they didn’t just bring the food to the table, they brought the table to the table. Everything was laid out, presumably in the kitchen, and then the staff wheeled out a table top and slid it onto the table that was in front of you. It was a great place to go for a goodbye meal as there was a little bit of every Korean dish I liked: fried fish, noodles, spinach, pajeon (a kind of pancake), soups….
