Once in a while I feel like indulging myself with a table-full of barbecue meat,

Especially Korean barbecue.

Forget about calorie count, forget about any kind of specialty diets,

Let's just stuff our stomach with piles of meat,

It's time to dig in!

Here's where I went for my barbecue meat preys!-

Petite victims first, some banchan on the table-

There were a few more banchan (small side dishes),

But it was really hard for me to take a picture that includes everything,

My left hand wanted to take a high quality picture,

My right hand only wanted to grab those food and jam into my mouth,

I ought to seek a way to make them corporate together.

*As far as I remembered, there were kimchi, fish cakes, pickled radish, seaweed, steamed eggs, pickled cucumber, and possibly potatoes.

Our victim number 6-2 on the menu,

"Black Angus deckle + choice of short ribs + Aragic & Song-i broiled mushroom + boiled soy bean paste soup + duk bo sam"

Here are the pictures. When we first started-

10 minutes after-

This is how you supposed to eat it-

Wrapped the meat and maybe some banchan with duk bo sam.

Duk bo sam is the rice wrapping you see here,

They also give you some thin pickled radish slices,

You can choose your wrappings between the two.

I personally prefer the radish one,

It's a little bit sweet, a little bit sourish, which makes a perfect combination with my barbecue meat dipped with sesame sauce.

I lava it!

But you all know how much I can eat,

I have to order extra Mandu Kuk (dumpling soup) to satisfy my greedy stomach-

The soup was great,

They added a lot of white pepper in it,

It helps to bring out the flavor of the soup.

I was full after those gigantic dumplings,

FULLLLLL......but highly satisfied.

The True OC Life

The very next day,

I got up around 7 a.m. on a Saturday morning,

Ready for a wonderful day on a yacht with my host parents and their business moderator.

*Host parents? Read this then you'll understand.

We first went to the moderator's house in Newport Beach,

It's still in the building process, but I can foreseen how beautiful the house will be already,

The whole place is completely build with environmentally friendly materials,

Green certified wood, cabinet made with sunflower seeds, recycled rooftops,

And this,

There's no single nails used in the house, everything is either screwed in or glued together,

How wonderful.

Here's the picture of my lovely host parents on the roof-

What an amazing view.

After everybody arrived at the house,

We walked out the patio, and here's the yacht,

How nice, you literally "parked" your yacht in the back of your house.

And off we go,

Approximately 10 minutes later,

We bumped into some local residents in the middle of the ocean-

Other friends with wings-

Fun time always passed by quickly,

It's already time for lunch.

I was wondering where we gonna stop by for food,

I guess it's not my turn to worry about this problem,

They just pulled into one of the harbor and "parked" the yacht in the back of the restaurant,

o__0.

Wait! How about dessert?

No problemo,

We hopped back to the yacht, took a ride to Coney Island for some frozen bananas.

I was speechless.

On the way back to Newport Beach,

One jet skier caught our waves and started doing his freestyle thingy,

He was jumping around here and there,

Too bad I didn't get any pictures of him in the air,

This is what I got-

It's like a mutual relationship,

We gave him the waves,

In return,

He gave us a marvelous jet ski show.

I really had fun that Saturday,

Thanks to my host parents, they gave me a chance to get a taste of OC life style.

Also special thanks to the moderator, he was an amazing host.
