Two words to describe my very first enkai: interesting and expensive.
After a rocky beginning with our coworkers, Kim (the other new ALT in my office, and my next door neighbor) and I were surprised that they decided to throw us a welcoming party. We figured that since they didn't seem to like us or try to get to know us that they wouldn't want to eat with us. But we thought wrong. The dinner was in the shopping district of Fukuoka City and since Kim and I both la-la-looove Korean food, it was at a Korean restaurant named Tamon/たもん. Everyone was on their best behavior and enjoying themselves. I'm sure it didn't hurt that everyone was drinking.
It was a delicious six course meal consisting of a nice salad, kim chee appetizers, fried and peppered chicken wings, three types of spicy nabe (motsu, kalbi, and seafood), chicken wraps, and three HUGE bibimbaps. We definitely got our fill of Korean food. The restaurant was top-notch and very pricy, luckily it was free for Kim and I since we were the honorary guests! Cheers!
