How does Soju taste?

Isopropyl alcohol.

Soju...uhh many many memories and still drinking it sometimes
first I hated it so much...now I think it's a decent drink and especially when u r sitting at the Korean BBQ and getting drunk from it while eating meet...mhh not too bad lol

Sure beats the hell out of baijiu.

If you get the green stuff it's good but the cheapest blue bottle is horrible imo.

Soju is awesome. It's like a watered down, slightly fruity vodka. It goes down easy, but I actually enjoy the taste of alcohol now. When I was younger I thought it was disgusting, but I thought whiskey was disgusting back then too.

Now I can't get enough of it. Whiskey neat, no ice. Soju chilled though, of course.

LOL! Well, baijui is a low-bar to pass. Tom Scocca in his book Beijing Welcomes You describes baijui this way: "The flavor of baijiu might have been the single most insurmountable thing to the foreign palate in all of China … it began with a nose-filling, cloying floral aroma like that of fabric softener, then washed through the mouth like smoky kerosene, leaving in its trail the stinging, acrid taste of the vomit after a vodka binge."

Puked my brains out first time I drank it and I didn't even drink a lot of it. Only time I ever vomited from consuming alcohol.

Scary to watch my former colleague put that **** down like it was water. Mother****er was either drunk or sleeping every minute of every day.

LOL, I heard it's hard to turn it down if you're at a business lunch/dinner too (something about offending people and making them lose face). Kinda scares me since I'm seriously thinking about moving to China in 3 - 6 months haha.

Wednesday I killed a bottle of Soju before entering the club in less than 5 minutes.

Got bottles inside and ended up blacking out. Lost passport phone etc.

Soju has a way of creeping up on you. Goes down easy, then all of a sudden you wake up the next day wondering wtf happened.

Don't chug that stuff.

Yeah,
you can check out this site to see the effects of Soju on people. Don't do the "1 shot" thing. It will hit you hard and you might sleep on the street.

where soju gets super dangerous is when you have it in "kettles" that are flavored and taste like a dairy queen slushy.

I am a BIG Whiskey drinker..so nearly always when I am out to eat Korean BBQ it's like that. Soju at BBQ and after that in Bars or clubs Whiskey////next morning no matter how I feel I have to vomit...just happens if i drank the night before Soju mixed with other drinks...but I dunno...I kinda like the feeling of Soju and what it makes to me in the night LOL

Hi,

Fast & Thanks Advance.

Foreigners tend to get a pass in this area if the Chinese people you are out with have even a basis understanding of western culture. Of course if you're drinking with a bunch of gangsters or old people, drink up.

-----------------------------

I remember eating BBQ with some friends late at night and as we finished one of my friends and I were invited by a group of Chinese guys to have drinks at their table. He declined and I stayed. As I am drinking, I notice that they are asking some rather invasive questions and they are acting pretty aggressive when I respond. It goes from curiosity to interrogation pretty quickly.

It's around 3 AM when I finally decide that I have to go. I haven't been this drunk in a long time and the environment is getting really uncomfortable. I get up to leave and say goodbye. Just as I turn to leave, one of them grabs me by my left wrist and says...

"Passport."

"What? I don't have it.", I say in busted Chinese.

"You need it." As he does this, he fumbles through his coat pocket and shows me his badge.

NOTE: As foreign experts, we absolutely must have either our passport or foreign expert certificates with us at all times. They're like our green cards. We must show them upon request by any police officer. You can hit with a "fine" if you do not have it.

At this point, it hits me that I have been drinking heavily with 8 Chinese police officers. This sobers me up as I recognize that I'm in for a shakedown. I am fumbling through my mind, trying to figure out how to get out of this without handing him any cash. Seeing that I had just recently cashed out of a poker game in the area, I had quite a lot of it on me.

He holds out his hand and waves it towards himself, a way of showing that he wants some money out of me. He reaches towards my left coat pocket, the one with most of my cash in it (I split my cash among multiple pockets). I shift away from his right hand put my hand in my right hip pockets, which contains mostly ones and fives. I end up tossing a 1 RMB bill to the cop. He catches it and looks at it for a second. During that second, I make a break for it and run like hell.

Given the amount I drank, I was amazed I could run at all. I hopped into a cab. The next thing I know, I wake up in my bed with the front of my body drenched from the waist down. I go through my pockets and see that I have all of my cash with me, though much of it is drenched in whatever I fell in that night.

Hahaha, sick story!

how much is street food?

can you find studios in korea for under $300< month.

lol bro you would not like korea.

you can find like a dorm room/prison cell (goshiwon) for around that much. i doubt you can in seoul. think they are 3-600k won a month in seoul.

street food is cheap but you can't eat it constantly like in thailand. when i would go to the mom and pop fast food place for lunch and dinner near my job i'd spend like 10$/day on food (gogee mandu ftw). but i'm the kind of person who doesn't mind/enjoys eating the same thing everyday.

Treet food is like 1-3k won. U can find a closet for 300k won

The street food sucks here. Fried **** and tappoki

Seoul Is too expensive. I rather be in Thailand

LOL! Cool story. Is this sort of thing common in big cities?

I don't think so. I think I just made a bad decision (drinking with a large group of strangers hanging in a poorly-lit area in the middle of the night).

I did this many times in Korea, but usually with people younger than 25-30. Never had any problem and can't imagine having some to be honest.
How old were they?
