Our first night was wonderful. We had a formal meeting with the District Governor and presented our gifts. Ho Taek, Kim dined with us and welcomed us to his home city of Geumsan. We met other Rotarians and they were all very kind and honored that we were there experiencing their country. After going through all the formalities we were then treated to a traditional Korean dinner. We tried many different kinds of foods. The main meat was smoked duck which is wrapped in lettuce and sesame leaves with soypaste and vegetable. Very Good! The Koreans love to drink also. I had my first taste of Ginseng wine and a vodka type of drink called "soju". These liquors are very low in alcohol content(<20%) which was good since our glasses were kept full all the time! It was a fairly early evening for us since all of us were very tired from our travels. Lesley and I received compliments on how beautiful we were all night and our younger male member of the team was told he looked like Brad Pitt! Can't get any better than that.
