so we're at this bar called 친구야놀자 (Let's Play Together) and we get some beer. it arrives, however, as if it had just stepped out of a bad frankenstien b-movie. as such:

there is a small cooling compartment with what i think is water at the bottom of the pitcher which rises up to surround the sides of the main pitcher compartment. inside the water-cooling compartment is a couple of chunks of dry ice, which makes for the mad scientist look-and-feel. it keeps the beer cold.

if there is one thing about korea that i love, it's the level of service that you can get for the simplest things. that pitcher of beer was not that much more expensive than anywhere else, but you get a chunk of dry ice to keep it that much cooler that much longer. if you go to baskin robbins to get ice cream or an ice cream cake to go, they throw in some dry ice to keep thinks cool. every time i fill up on gas, they give me a small box of tissue.

anyway, all i wanted was to show you the beer video.
