It was just your typical Friday afternoon: I was done with my classes for the day and just had little bits of prep to do for next week's classes. Today some of the students had brought in some food to the teachers' office for us to eat. I immediately saw the classic rice cakes and some raw fish (similar to the sushi that you get at a Japanese restaurant). "Most all of what I've already seen" I think to myself.. and then I look a little closer at that dish of squid and realize that it is definitely moving: Live octopus!
I was offered several times, but needless to say I politely declined and said I'll stick with the tasty rice cakes and orange juice. :-)
One of my English Korean co-teachers clarified for me that you do have to be sure to chew it very well when you eat it because you can choke on it, as the suckers may stick to your throat otherwise. The thought of this alone was enough to turn me away -- but at least now I can say that I've seen it!!
Wow! That's really cool...a little freaky...but mostly cool. Interesting about the suckers getting stuck.
