OSU-PNU 2006

Today the N class invited me to have lunch with them in the classroom after our lesson. Upon my acceptance, they immediately introduced me to the concept of ordering food and having it delivered to the classroom. Pretty neat! We had mil myun, which is a cold wheat noodle dish that was introduced to the Korean menu during WWII. The students told me that this was more popular than nang myun, another cold noodle dish but made from buckwheat noodles, because it was cheaper. This can only be found in Pusan.

The students ordered our noodle lunch at the beginning of our class, and around the end of class, the delivery guy showed up with a metal container full of metal bowls with "dry" ingredients for the soup along with bottles of vinegar and hot sauce and a few side dishes. The soup broth he poured in before he passed out the bowls to everyone. When we were finished eating, we left the bowls piled in the hallway for the delivery guy to return for later.
