Koreans GALORE!

I'm too lazy to blog about Greece (just came back) and any other country. Maybe I'll post pictures... haha.

Oh but, today I visited a Korean church in Vienna, and it was such a wonderful place. REALLY.

Actually it was more so a cultural experience for me rather than a religious one, but oh well... I loved it!

The Korean church community there was really big - there were probably at least 150 people there. I wouldn't expect that in Vienna. And the Korean language is really nice. Especially when they sing songs - their voices and intonations are so refined, gentle that it was really, really beautiful. Plus the very talented musicians brought waves of soothing feelings and peace in the sanctuary, it was terrific.

Ok, so I gave only 1 Euro for offering. Who cares, I don't belong to this place, only a visitor.
But afterwards I ate so much Korean food that I really felt bad. haha.

After service, everybody gathers in the lunch area - long wooden tables with a big bowl of sticky Korean rice in the middle, not forgetting of course, kimchi - and queues up for their soup bowls (with Korean seaweed and meat). People are laughing, talking loudly; the whole scene is chaotic, but loving and happy. It was such a communal and familial atmosphere, I was so touched. I could literally feel the love from a family radiating outwards just from the kitchen/lunch area. And not because I get to eat free food. heh.

Oh yes, the authentic Korean kimchi there was extra red, extra spicy, extra salty and tasted like it had a bit of wasabi flavour (although clearly wasabi is not an ingredient). I wonder how Koreans eat this everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I'm going back to this lovely place again, and bringing some European friends too!!

Some pictures of this place:-

Although the Korean guy next to me looks like a retard (I'm sorry for being mean. Just truthful), he is really really nice. And gentle.

The long tables of feasting! I'm certainly coming back here again! Muahaha.

Oh, did I forget to mention that some Korean girls are really pretty too? *Wink*
