Day 8: Touring Andong... The Soju Museum


We did a day trip to Andong on Saturday. The first stop was the soju museum. In Korea they have different local soju depending on where you live. Daegu is famous for Charm Soju, its the standard at which we judge other soju. Pusan has its 'fresher' C2 Soju. Jeju has its icy cool smooth Halla Mountain Soju. And, Andong, a small city just north of Daegu known for its traditional laid back lifestyle, is known for its strong as hell, breath of fire, Andong Soju.

We toured the shity little museum with its cheesy displays on how Andong Soju is still made virtually the same way it was made hundreds of years ago. Then we helped our selves to plenty of free 'samples', also known as free shots until we were feelin pretty good.

Then, stinking like a bunch of alcoholic foreigners, we made our way by bus to an even more traditional village a few kilometers out of town..
