After an hour on the bus and only two bus stops, we decided to pass the gridlock and try our luck on the subway. That was an expierence. I think the entire population of Seoul was going to the fireworks and decided to take the subway as well. It was crowed, crazy, and quite amusing.
Eventually we arrived, after the fireworks show. The police closed down the subway entrance, so we decided to wait for our other co-workers. Mean while, my stomach was growling. There were plenty of street vendors available, so I mosied on over. The first thing I arrived to was a vat of silk worm larva. One of my korean friends said they were really good. I said why not.
After much debating, I put it in my mouth and ate it. Yes, you feel the legs (lol), but it is cooked. Actually, besides the mushy texture, it tasted like absolutely nothing. It could have used a little honey.
The subway station opened up, so we went on our way to the chicken restaurant. Funny thing, they only serve rotiserie chicken and beer. That is it. I don't know if the chicken was really the best chicken I ever had or the fact that I was starving (you have to wait till they roast it - 40 minutes), but it was delicious. It was stuffed with rice and a weird root. No one knew if you eat it, but we tried. lol. One more note, you eat on plastic tables in the street and there is a cat on a leash outside. Only in Korea.
