Practice, practice, practice, and remember... It really is all about technique. Once you get it you will have it the rest of your life.

VCR Report post Posted October 28, 2014 So I suck with regular chopsticks. I can get food to my mouth but it isnt pretty. Metal chopsticks are impossible. You likely knew already but to up your challenge even more, it is considered rude by Korean culture to lift up the bowls and plates. They should stay on the table and you get the solid food with metal chopsticks and liquids with metal spoon. And this might be a bit archaic but traditionally, when you are at dinner and your host offers you to "have some more", you are suppose to deny the offer for the first and second time. Only on the third offer would you then take the food. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HannibalACP82 Report post Posted October 28, 2014 Rant time. Brought my tablet to Korea with me. Go to watch Netflix and get the big old X because I am out of the country. Go to watch Hulu plus and get the big old X because I am out of the country. Mind you these are both services I pay for with american money from my american job with my american credit card with my american billing address. Go to try Amazon Prime/VOD...first I have to download the Prime app, then I have to get an email inviting me to download the amazon for tablets app to enable the VOD. Then I select the movie I want to watch to free with my prime membership and add it to my watchlist. Then I click it to play it and only at that point does it tell me that while the movie is free it is not available on my device but I can buy it and then watch it on my tablet otherwise I need to watch it on my computer/phone/instant streaming box. WTF????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiBull Report post Posted October 28, 2014 Just ordered a Amazon Firestick to mess with. Only $19 for prime members (although I doubt prime covers free shipping to Korea). May be worth a look. It streams Prime, Netflix, Hulu, etc. My brother uses a hacked Apple TV to stream XBMC and it's pretty slick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HannibalACP82 Report post Posted October 30, 2014 Some shots from my new Sony RX-100 M3 and I have to say that low light is really impressive. It was after 18:30 and was pretty darn dark. We went up to Jinha Beach and wandered around. Here are some of the better shots of the area and Myeongeon Bridge: I have no idea: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiBull Report post Posted October 31, 2014 Nice! What are you going to make? I've got a bunch of Korean short ribs but I'm feeling lazy and may just go out to eat. Busy weekend. Pics are looking good! Always do the stink finger test That must have been what that hand with extended finger monument was dedicated to. Always best to check the oil first.
