COME HERE BOY....mmmmm dog!

Recipe for dog.....

Step 1: Tie the dog up. Lull it into a false sense of security and then begin to kick. Kick the flanks, legs, head and ass of the dog. Why?, you may ask. Well this is done to get the adrenaline coarsing through the muscle tissue for it is believed that the meat of a dog with adrenaline in it is far tastier and far more "good for your health". I quoted this because it seems that everything you eat here is "good for your health".....eat that camel penis! why? it's good for your health! Mmmkay!

Step 2: Put the beaten, but still alive dog into a bag and tie it up to a tree. Next grab yourself a handy flame and set the bag on fire. Now the fireworks begin.

Step 3: Cut the dog up and begin to cook.

Now I know you may be appalled but this is actually not the way in which they kill dogs nowadays. This is how they used to do it.
"Times are changing eh? what happened to the good old days when you could beat dogs and set them on fire... I tell you I don't like the way things are going"

All in all dog is actually a really tasty treat, and I say treat as it is actually quite expensive. It is actually really good for you when you are sick too.
All I can say is " One hot dog and a scoop of chips please"

New Year, New Start!

Well I've been in South Korea now for eight months just minding my business, grinding through the hours of work and making the most of my time that I have here. For those who are thinking of teaching abroad I would have to recommend it, especially in Korea for you get free accommodation, sweet money and it is not too expensive. Well just to fill in the gaps........I arrived back in London from Beijing around Easter, broke, sweaty and with grippers that hadn't been washed in well over a week. After sorting out my dags, cleaning my socks and brushing the hair I jumped back on a plane back over to Asia to start a fresh year of teaching......and here I am with four months left. So far I've eaten dog, checked out traditional villages, run up and down burial mounds known as Tumulus, checked out Loveland in Jeju Island and had some wild adventures in Seoul the capital....don't ask. With just a little time left I thought I'd start up the writing again in order to capture some daily things that I have learnt to take for granted. School children ooohing and ahhhing as you walk by and old Korean men yelling on the subway telling you to shut up when infact you are not the one speaking, but cause your white you are to blame...priceless, these are a few things I want to print on paper so as not to forget.....that and all the great things that were once amazing but now seem ordinary.
