Last Night in Korea

This morning I was still not hungry but at least not nauseous anymore. Did the coffee until noon thing like usual and then decided maybe I felt a bit hungry and had a big kalbi lunch. It was a little disappointing when this was brought to me sizzling on what I'll call a "fajita plate" instead of cooked right in front of me on coals brought to the table, but maybe I was thinking of something else. All the same delicious, and my stomach didn't mind it. So basically I am all better.

Didn't do much today. Woke late, did some shopping, visited a museum, swung by this "folk village" for a few minutes but lost interest when there were no reenactors (incidentally, I think they'd just finished shooting a TV show) then sat by the riverside at sunset, then back here, some packing, went out and managed to find a place that serves makkoli, which I'd promised grad student SH I would try, back here, more packing, figured out that I needed the Seoul version of "specified bags," acquired some from the local Family Mart, and shower, shaved for the border guards, and pretty much here we are.

It's late. No time to try to sum anything up right now. And anyway, I'll be attempting some more thorough coverage of the last four days from Illinois anyway.
