Patty and I just arrived at the Dasan Center in Gangjin City, South Korea. it is 10:15 p.m. here, and we need to get out early tomorrow, so we need to go to bed. We had an incredible day in Seoul today, and I need some time to write it up. If you do Facebook that will probably be the best way to read about it. Search for panderson@centurytel.net and you should find my page.

Maybe he's towing the 16 behind the 25?

That's what my bride suggested for our trip to Langford this year. Tow Captain's Kitten (16) behind Captain's Cat (TC255). :shock: Only problem is that it's about a 110 mile trip!

Pat/Patty, what are you doing in South Korea? I'd like to have you look up the hacker that hijacked my gmail account and sent mail to 506 of my closest friends. Jim, is this why you have no e-mail listed?

Nah, probably not a spy job.

He probably has his "I'm only here for the beer" t-shirt on.

Business, ya' know! (Pat and Dave own a micro-brewery.)

We all know how much the Koreans are famous for their brews..

Please pass the rice, Brice!

Joe. :teeth :thup

Why would the peace corps or even the CIA infiltrate a field full of bunnies? Or perhaps you meant "Poppy fields" :?: :lol:

Could be, didn't think of that connection.

Look how much trouble Don (Sneaks) nephew has caused and he's not even in the country or on the site to defend himself! Must run in the family!! :roll:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beer in Korea

Korean name
Hangul 맥주
Hanja 麥酒
Revised Romanization maekju
McCune–Reischauer maekchu

Beer or called maekju in Korean was introduced to Korea by Europeans.

The South Korean beer market is dominated by the three major brands: Cass, Hite, and OB. Most restaurants and bars will only have one on tap, as they are largely regarded as similar in taste and price (they are mostly brewed from rice). Foreign beers are available but are generally expensive - generally at least ₩8,000 and as much as ₩15,000 for a pint of Guinness in downtown Seoul mainly due to the heavy taxation on import beers, which is 100% opposed to 20 to 30 percent on other types of alcoholic beverage. Microbreweries are starting to appear, and this area of the market is showing increasing signs of sophistication. Unfortunately, due to the law requiring 30 billion Korean Won capital for commercial sales, it is not possible to buy microbrewery's beer off the shelf. Of all Korea's mass produced beers, only Hite's Max Prime brand contains 100% barley malt.

As usual, I am glad our trip has occasioned such frivolity and merriment!

Snoqualmie and Gangjin are Sister Cities, we have hosted the Koreans in Snoqualmie a couple of times. Ganjin actually has an office in the Snoqualmie City Hall. Snoqualmie delegations have visited Gangjin several times, but always electeds or the Sister Cities Association folks. Since I actually set up the Sister Cities Association, and did a lot of the groundwork for the whole deal, the Mayor picked me to accompany him this time. Paid our own airfare but everything else - and I mean EVERYTHING - is on the City of Ganjin, and it has been fabulous.

Have not had time to deal with pix yet, we are on the go from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, and pretty tired when we get back to our room. Headed from Gangjin back to Seoul today, will speak at a Community Development Conf. on Saturday.

Had some Hite beer last night with dinner, sort of Korean Budweiser, along with most of the stuff Mark mentioned (and LOTS more) - the food has been fabulous!
 
Sounds like a great trip, Pat and Patty! Especially nice to get the VIP treatment. We'll look forward to the photos when they're up.

Travel safe, have fun,
Jim & Joan
 
Yummm...sounds good, Pat & Patty. I love Korean food. My ex-wife is 1/4 Korean, so she learned to cook from her mom. I still have some recipes and make them to this day. My Kal-Bi chicken is a fan favorite; even brought some to the FHCBGT last yr. :wink:
