Found an amazing makgeolli on coupang. It's a porridge base to start the fermentation and then they add more steamed rice 3 days later and again 3 days after that. Boozy, a little thicker and the perfect tartness. Well, well worth the 10 000W. (it's 12.5%. You'd easily spend that on a cheap red wine, don't let the fact that it's "JuSt MaKgEoLli" discourage you)https://www.coupang.com/vp/products/50478124?vendorItemId=3425335980&isAddedCart=Couple more honourable mentions:This one has a final stage in its bottle conditioning. Crack the cap and watch the show inside the bottle. Great experience. https://www.coupang.com/vp/products/233607924?isAddedCart=This one is a solid sippable mak (and you get two bottles, the price is right. https://www.coupang.com/vp/products/218520947?isAddedCart=
I can’t open the age verify. Does the first makgeoli have aspartame??
How do they keep it from continuing to ferment in the bottle, then?
Ah, I see. That makes sense.Is this pretty common? I'm not sure if I've ever seen unsealed makgeoli in the grocery store.
It's sealed in the sense that when you open it, the plastic ring comes apart, but there's a huge wad of cotton plastic under the cap that sits around the rim of the bottle that lets gas escape. Leave a cheap bottle on its side for ten minutes and you'll see. Expensive bottles are usually aged for months so they can be selaed pretty well. The plastic bottles at Emart and 7-11 are fermented and bottled quickly, that's why they're 1300W and fizzy.
I asked her to write an imaginary story of how she got to school this morning. For extra challenge, I prepared a bag filled with random words of which she had to draw 5 and use them in her story. Her story gave me a good laugh and reminded me that I love teaching high-level students.
Oddly enough, I have a 4th grade student who is the same. She was born in Hawai'i, and her family returned to Korea just this year. She is a native level English speaker stuck in a class where 2/3 of the kids still have trouble with their ABC's. I suspect that even back in the US, she was a very advanced student.I have her write in a journal while the kids colour in their text books, and I'm a bit depressed with the amount of angst she pours onto the page. She's miserable here in Korea, hates her classmates and teachers (and they reciprocate the feeling because, 9 year old that she is, she doesn't hide her dislike), and hates everything to do with Korea. I know it's not my job to fix this, and considering that she's in one of my travel schools, I wouldn't be able to if I tried, but it makes me sad to know about it. Any thoughts or advice?
Thanks! Solid advice: I was thinking along those lines as well, so it's nice to have some confirmation.Hope everybody has a happy Remembrance Day tomorrow!Wish I could've found a poppy to wear, so that I could proudly go to work with little splotches of blood on my shirt!
Years ago I was up at the Canadian Embassy (the old dump in the Kolon building) and they had a poppy box.
"happy" Remembrance Day? Don't think I've heard that one before. It's supposed to be a somewhat sombre occasion.
