The days are still unrelentingly hot. To give you an idea of exactly how hot it is here, I haven't wore a jacket, sweater, pants, or even a long sleeve shirt in Korea since the beginning of April! Even in the middle of the night the temperature generally stays above 30 Degrees if you factor in humidity.
One of the ways Koreans beat the heat is to eat dog, chicken, or goat soup. These animals are said to give the common person stamina to fight through the hottest days of summer thereby allowing them to work their hardest in uncomfortably hot conditions.
So yesterday, some teachers at the prison and I, went out for lunch. The restaurant was a goat restaurant, but also served dog. Evading pressure to try the dog, I ordered goat soup.

So how was the goat soup?

It was good, tasting somewhat like lamb a little like pork. Though I doused mine in ginger, green onion, white onion, garlic, and pepper paste, following the lead of those at the table. The others claimed that goat tastes almost identical to dog, and that they can barely tell the difference. That comment definitely lead me to question what I had in my bowl...
I'm sure they said goat though...
Honestly, if it tastes similar to dog, that's enough! lol You'll never have to know now... unless you really want to :S egats!!
