We thought we'd won.
Once again I was picked out of a crowd and asked to make my way to the stage (my first was at the Peach festival and that led to my winning of the box of peaches) and once there, I was given a chef's hat, a giant smashy thing for my left hand and a smaller smashy thing for my right hand. The one in the left hand to whack a barrel and the one in my right to pound some dough. At the same time, I had to keep an eye on my co-chef who was preparing pancakes and putting them on a conveyor belt for me to collect and put on a pile of other trays of pancakes and then go back to smashing and whacking and doing other angry sounding actions like that to that poor, unfortunate bit of dough.
Does that sound like a lot to do?
IT WAS.
As well as that, 'Sexy Guy' (one of the characters in a cast of five) started pulling my jeans up while I was walloping with the smashy things I'd been given. I fell over once and stumbled backwards once as well. Unfortunately, my dough-killing and pancake collecting skills were not good enough and Blue Team lost.
GOT ME A FREE PHOTO OF IT THOUGH DIDN'T I!?
After all of this I went and had a sweat in Itaewon, and then I went and had a sweat in Hongdae and after a night in Playground Park I headed back to the Jimjilbang - a HOT KOREA sauna/spa/bathhouse, where we were staying and where I... yes, you guessed it, had a sweat. I'm not sure I've stopped sweating for more than an hour since I set off 16 days ago. Even the cheese sandwiches my mom packed for the journey started sweating once we hit Shanghai.
I'm moving out of Jochiwon on Friday and heading for Jeonju for Part II of orientation - I will be making red pepper paste and I'm pretty sure I won't remember to not touch my eyes.
