In 1995 I came to Korea and could no longer play Dungeons and Dragons.  Nobody around me knew the game.  Then, a few years ago, I was surfing the Internet and found a website where people played Dungeons and Dragons online.  I was very excited.  I could once again play the game I enjoyed as a younger person.  These days I play with three other people through Skype.  Two are from the United States and one is from Canada.  We have a computer program where we can draw maps but otherwise the game is still in our imagination.  Playing the game at the kitchen table with friends is the best but playing online is not bad.  Every Saturday morning we meet online and we play for several hours.  It's probably my favourite time of the week.

When the delivery man left, I opened the package to find pieces of chicken, rice cake (떡), and vegetables.  We knew there would be vegetables and rice cake but it was all cooked together in a red sauce.  Not grilled.  It looked like everything was boiled in the red sauce.  I was disappointed but I thought, "Maybe the sauce is barbecue sauce."  But no.  The sauce tasted good but it was made from hot peppers, not tomatoes, and it was very spicy, like 불닭.  Both my wife and I gave up eating after a short time.  It was too spicy for both of us.  My wife said, "If barbecue chicken is this spicy, I can't imagine how spicy 불닭 is."  I ate some bread to get the burning out of my mouth and my wife drank fruit juice.

Today I washed the chicken in water to remove the spicy sauce.  Then I fried it in a pan with some potatoes and Western barbecue sauce.  It was a little spicy but okay.  I won't order from that restaurant again.  What I received was very different from the photo in the advertisement and it was much too spicy.  But, some of the blame is on me.  Did I think that a 불닭 speciality restaurant would have something that is not spicy?  I should have expected that but didn't.
