Tonight, I walked across the street to the Korean restaurant and enjoyed a very cheap and utterly delicious table full of spicy things next to a party of about a dozen collared korean guys who seemed to be having some sort of going-away party where they did round after round of toasts. And BOY do koreans have a funny toasting style. They stand up, start talking blah blah blah blah, then conclude their speech with about 20 seconds of very gutteral, aggressive yelling which sounds rather like they're about to storm the great wall. Then that guy sits down and the next one stands up, and round and round they go. All in all, it's excellent, if somewhat jarring, dining entertainment.
