Hello...so ummmm
I'm a medic stuck in Korea and looking for forums that I can read through the DoD firewalls.
My main interests are medicine, cooking, EvE-Online and computers.
I've been doing hardware side for ten years or so and am now trying to learn software side stuff.(I'm trying to build my first web site and I wanna learn to make sig files)
A little more about me, I have a BA in philosophy and have done a bit of premed.
well thats it for now....

I hear good things.

Have you had live shrimp dipped in rice wine? Apparently they think it is good there.

So, you dip the wriggling shrimp in wine and then bite off its head with its claw thingys still moving around in your mouth.

Yeah, that is the idea. You get them drunk and then eat them. It is apparently one of their most favourite delicacies of their own design.
I'd be willing to try it.
