Last night I tried Korean BBQ :) Most, if not all of you know, I recently changed my diet to limit meat and dairy...I have quickly learned that unless I want to spend mucho on food, I will have to change my eating habits back slightly. First of all, Korean BBQ is delicous! You cook the meat yourselves, dip it in a Korean BBQ sauce (best part!) and then put in a large green leaf (they give you several different types to try, all are very flavor full and foreign to me) with things such as bean sprouts, radish, onion, garlic ect... Another thing about eating out in Korea is they give you MANY sides, most of which are good. Christina told me that if I don't hate the cabbage at this point, its a good sign :) One thing that I surprisingly liked was yellow radishes in vinegar, probably because of the sugar and the salt ;)
Today I went grocery shopping and it was quite an experience! There is not much American food and if there is any, it is very expensive. I spent a large amount of time in the produce section trying to figure out what the greens are, none of which looked familiar. I couldn't find any bread, any sugar-free soymilk, and many other things but they have fresh tofu! I ended up picking up veggies that I am not positive what they are, but know the general family :)
Other notes, mostly Koreans are pretty self-conscious so though most will stare, they are shy. Today walking down the street I had an experience that was an exception to this rule. A middle aged business man came next to me, put his arm around me and started talking Korean. I explained that I did not speak Korean, he tried to talk to me for a few minutes, then looked at me and said 'American?' I answered yes and smiled and went on my way.
I don't start work until next Monday, so will filling up my blog with little not as exciting tid bits this week. Love you all!
