Meet (the majority) of my lab members! My professor, Dr. Youngryel Ryu, is to my right. Yan and Chongya are the Post-docs that will also be assisting me (2 in the top left). Jongmin (my left), Hyungsuk (bottom left photo), Bu Young (across from me), and So Youn (top right). We had a traditional Korean BBQ dish called Samgyeopsal (three layered pork belly) that tasted a lot like really thick bacon. It was incredible! So far I’ve loved all of the food I have encountered here in Korea. If you are wondering what the peace sign is that a lot of Asians like to throw up in pictures, it means victory. They’re not even sure why they do it or where it came from. It has just found its way into their culture. Can’t wait to show you all what I had for dinner last night! It was quite the experience.
