And Barry, I am in Korea, it is Soju here! Saki (sake?) is Japan. I actually really like Bec-Seju which is a rice wine... definitely worth a try!
Since I have some Soju in my system now and was tutoring until 11:00pm, I should be off to bed... sucks when everyone posts while your sleeping and you miss the fun discussions! Ah well... it's been worth it. :)
