Korea Trip 2009 - Making Kimchi, Day 3

After Everland, we were headed to learn how to make kimchi. The tour guide said that all kimchi that we made today will be donated to the poor and needy. How true, I dunno. We didnt really get to learn how to make. What was being done was that there will be a short talk or demonstration on how they prepare the kimchi. What was left to be done was only to apply the kimchi sauce on the cabbage and wrap it up.

Making Kimchi session. Look at the plates. They all come with one section of the cabbage and a heap of kimchi sauce. Just apply it to the cabbage will do. More importantly, look at the blue cup with the misery small amount of milk. That is the Ginseng Milk in the itinerary. Quote the itinerary "You can also have a taste of Korean Ginseng Milk". SA Tours is not wrong you know. You really did have a taste. Word for word.

The photographer did take some nice photos of us with the kimchi. Kudos to her.

Me with Kimchi.

And the last part here. We get to dress up in Korean Traditional Costume.

So what is really here? The whole making Kimchi thing is just a cover up to get you to buy their Kimchi in bulk. You cannot just buy one. You have to get 5, free 1 = six. And they are not exactly cheap. Me no love for kimchi.

Rating for Making Kimchi : 3 / 5. At least I get to see myself in a "Korean Traditional Costume"

Next up...Dongdaemun Market, Day 3.
