Course 5 - Tempura

Course 6 - Sushi

Course 7 - Stone Bibimbob

Korea - Day #18 (May 16, 2011) - Buffett

Last dinner in Korea - Emobu wanted us to experience the proper buffet restaurant.  It was an enormous place with several sections - Chinese, Japanese Tempura, Japanese Sushi, Western Steak, Salad bar, and dessert corner.  After our meal, Emobu and Darryl argued whose turn it was to pay for the meal.  Emobu won the argument and he paid for our dinner.  I was busy checking the place out and eating various items so completely forgot about taking photos AGAIN!  Fortunately, Darryl was ready to take on the responsibility.

Korea - Day #18 (May 16, 2011)

Darryl wanted to go back to Itaewon since he didn't purchase anything last time we were there.  We usually get lots of items in Itaewon due to low prices but we noticed that things were much more expensive than when we were here four years ago.  We took our time looking around and picked up some gifts for folks in Michigan.
