Doing the Gangnam dance in Gangnam: A montage of my Korea trip

I recently went to Japan and Korea for a much needed vacation away from my laptop and cell phone (though I ended up working throughout the vacation anyway--gotta get that much anticipated cookbook written!). I regret not doing crazier things in Japan worth capturing on video, but I made up for it in Korea. I ate so much food overseas that a friend's mom rubbed my belly and exclaimed something in Japanese that alluded to my being pregnant. The thing is, I'm not pregnant! She'd just fed me a delicious dinner of shabu shabu, so if anything, I was pregnant with her shabu shabu baby! It didn't matter that I was drinking beer over dinner...sigh. Time to lose the pot belly. It is no longer cute.Anyway, here is a video of our time in Seoul, Korea. I try live octopus and do the Gangnam-style dance in the actual Gangnam district. I was quite embarrassed doing it because: (1) it was in public at a subway stop, and (2) I hadn't had any shots of soju. But I did it for the fans since it got a laugh from so many of you. Enjoy the video, and happy Thanksgiving to all.
