Koreans and kimchi and smores, oh my!

This Saturday, some (6) of my Korean students from last semester decided we should have a BBQ. So we did. They brought "American" food, which meant tuna on crackers with half a grape on top, pop, fruit, and cupcakes. I provided hot dogs, pasta salad and smores, which they were a bit apprehensive about. T-rav had his first experience hanging out with a culture with which he's not too familiar and he got to see how much Misha (the tall, round-ish boy- the other two peeps had already left when we took this picture) loves me.

Next time, they promised to have both of us over to one of their apartments to make us Korean food (Trav can hardly contain himself with excitement).

Three random things about Koreans: (1) they think their faces are huge and will often try to cover part of their face when having their picture taken, especially when with an American; (2) they think all American food is "sweet;" (3) they think their food is healthy because it's fermented, a process we consider to be rotting. Weird.

I don't like Korean food...well I don't think I have ever had it, but I doubt I would like it. Its probably close to Chinese and Japanese food...and i REALLY don't like that. Anyway- did they eat the smores? I love smores. I miss smores. Pop tart's smores are SO good, too.
