Cooking it Korean Style

Tonight some guys from Aonghas's Student Life group were going to get together with some guys from other groups within Student Life to have dinner at this Korean BBQ restaurant in the city. Our mum had encouraged us to come along with Aonghas to get to know some of the people. I originally wasn't too keen as I didn't know if we'd be welcome since we weren't part of the group and didn't know anyone. It was a last minute decision, just as Aonghas left with Hamish, I changed my mind and decided to come!

All the guys there turned out to be quite nice! Aonghas sat at one end of the long table while Hamish and I sat together just for moral support. One of the guys ended up talking to us for a while which was cool!

As with Korean BBQ's, all the food on offer is raw and you have to cook it on the stoves provided at your table. My mum cooks most of my food so I had no idea how to cook meat! The first time I tried, I left it on the stove a bit too long and it became charcoal! I think I eventually got better, but I was really worried I hadn't cooked the meat properly.

Hamish and I were the last people to finish our food before we all left and went to play pool at a nearby place. We played a few games of pool during our allotted hour. My pool-playing skills aren't too flash, so I lost several games. When paired with someone else though we won a few games!

It was a great night to get to know a few of the people in Student Life. I really should get involved more in that sort of stuff at uni!
