	October 8,1999: Jiphyunjeon's homework by Mie
	On a refreshing evening in October, we had a meeting to sum up the homework from Jiphyunjeon Seoul, Korea. Most members who visited Jiphyunjeon this summer joined the meeting.
	The members got together at Oita railroad station from which we started the trip to Seoul this summer. My husband, who didn't visit Korea with us, was welcomed this time.
	Mr. Suyama will drive his car for us tonight. The capacity of the car is eight, matching to the number of the participant today. Suddenly, somebody shouted.
	Yes, that is Mr. Mori who led us to Seoul in summer. He forgot to bring his homework with him. Boo! It takes, however, just three minutes from here to his home. We were relieved to know that it was Mr. Mori who forgot the paper.
Well, we can go now. The destination is a Korean restaurant recently opened in Akeno district. Korea-Japan House, the restaurant, welcomed us with its beautiful Korean dolls. All of the lampshade shop curtains, and cushions are made of nylon-woven taffeta, creating Korean atmosphere in the restaurant.
What dish shall we try? Well, let's drink a toast, anyway. Wait a minute. Why we are here tonight? Yes, to check the homework. We earnestly read around the proofs of the homework from Jiphyunjeon.
The proofreading was over quickly. Then let's order dishes. From left, Mr. Mori, Mr. Kuboki, Mr. Yuuki, Mr. Suyama, Mrs. Fujii, Mie, and Mrs. Nakamura. (Pictured by Ken.)
	The master recommended us "set menu." Purkogi (beef with rib) is already releasing mouth-wetting smell.
Ready for serve? A pair of scissors cuts the meat into small pieces. The meat is wrapped with vegetables such as lettuce, thinly sliced turnip, and Kimuchi. Chijimi, a Korean style omelet with leek is very tasty as well.
Jinro, Korean clear liquor, was nice as well. Some people with sharp tongue said the flavor is something different from what we had in Seoul. The right picture shows Nacchipokun (boiled octopus with mustard soybean paste.) Chanja (internal organs of codfish), dried see grass, Chippuchu (Korean fried noodle), Tenjin-chinge (Hot soup of soybean paste) are on the table. If the menu is not written in Japanese, we can feel as if we were in Seoul tonight.
	Internet addicted guys try to connect to the web.
	Mr. Sou Tongfang, the master, sat among us for a photo opportunity. Everything OK? Sure, all dishes are great! Korea-Japan House: phone 097-556-8081
	The pleasant atmosphere was still lingering over us. We headed to a coffee shop.
	We dropped in JACASSE teashop in Morimachi town. The name of the shop means "noisy girls."
Each of us was filled up with sweet dessert. I took a sweet dessert like this late in night after a long time. JACASSE: Morimachi Oita city　phone 097-524-3077
We talked much, enjoyed nice foods tonight. We would be very happy if we could make another overseas trip someday. Mr. Suyama, thank you very much for your kindness in driving.
