Preparing for Korean Cuisine

This morning I discovered that eating Korean food makes me wake up with a headache and reeking of garlic. Last night we had a small, celebratory dinner at a Korean restaurant a few minutes from our house. We ate gun mandoo (pork and pork dumplings, sort of) and sushi for appetizer, then for main course we had bulgogi (ribeye), joomulback galbi (prime short ribs) and bibimbap (indescribable). It was topped off with a dessert whose name I didn't get, but it was a bowl of sweet, sugary liquid with rice floating in it. It tasted better than it sounds. In fact, everything was tasty, but I'm concerned we won't have the luxury of ordering by pictures and numbers when we're in Korea.

Oh, there was something called soju served throughout the dinner. I drank a lot of it. This is the likeliest cause of the headache.
