Daegu at Night

I just got a new camera: A Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2. I know, I'm a traitor to those who like Canon or Nikon.

Here are the famous pork pancakes with a pitcher of makgeolli (Korea's Rice Alcohol). The pork pancakes are about the size of a baby's head. Now we get to the spicy galbijjim.
