갈치조림: hairtail stew

Again the word “jorim” strikes us. It’s still not a stew at all, but I’m still going with it. We met in a small group for the last time after the previous day’s seminar, and we climbed a mountain to get to the faculty restaurant where we battled moths and mosquitoes and enjoyed the breeze and fantastic food. I am not that bad at separating the bones from fish, but I am still working on perfection. I got some quality counseling too as an added bonus — it did help, but I think being able to come home made everything better. Wow, I can’t stop talking about that. I swear I’m not usually this mopey about going home, you know, but it’s just that this summer vacation has been great, with all its stupid health problems and yelling and sweaty subway rides and bad movies. And I love home. Whether that word is a building, a room or a country.
