Soju and Makalee
Today I will learn the ins and outs of making (and consuming) two of Koreas signature beverages: soju and makalee.
I’m going on a tour that was created by my friend and fellow teacher Sue and her husband Justin. Sue and Justin run a helpful and insightful everything foreigners need to know about Korea website called theyeogiyo.com. I highly recommend you try it out!!
Now I’ve had soju before which tastes like …anitceptic? Basically it’s Korean vodka. Then there’s makalee which is a milky alcohol and this will be my first time.
The place is a hefty 3 hours away but I’ll be in the entertaining company of most of my foreign co-workers.
I’m proud of myself for making the journey because I’ve seen next to nothing of Korea!! When I get back from my China/Everest adventure I plan on doing a mini roadtrip of the whole place. Maybe a week.
But of course travel fever is setting in and well I could just continue south after Bejing to see the Terricota Warriors in Xian (yeah I don’t know the spellings) and eventually head out from the Hong Kong airport…
I digress. Back to soju and makalee. This blog will be edited for important information. 😉
Cheers! or Gambaay!
