First trip to Seoul

I went into Seoul today to meet Annie who got in contact with me through the Language Exchange website. She needs to improve her language for her job as she works for MacDonalds in their regional HQ (not flipping burgers!) and I need to pick up some (any) Korean. Luckily, we hit it off straight away and her English is pretty good. She showed me round Guro, a suburb of Seoul, where she lives and then she took me to a Korean restaurant and we ate dolsot bibimbap (sort of like egg fried rice with vegetables and spicy pepper sauce and served in a stone pot). The waiter didn't give me any pepper sauce, so Annie called him over and he said that he didn't think I would want hot sauce being a Westerner...what a cheek. I made sure I ate it as hot as I could bear! Annie confessed that she doesn't actually like spicy food, but I promised I wouldn't tell anyone in case they make her renounce her Korean nationality and move to somewhere where the food is not so spicy (perhaps the UK?!)
