Kimchi and Things

Among the many things I will miss about Korea, Kimchi is not one of them! I never quite warmed up to this spicy pickled cabbage that Koreans eat with every meal. And I mean every. single. meal. I wish I liked it because it's been labeled one of the top 5 healthiest foods in the world.

I will, however, miss galby -- Korean barbeque. It's sooooo yummy.

But back to foods I won't miss: like bland noodle soup and dokbooki,
which are chewy rice cakes in, what else, spicy sauce!

And here's a food I will miss, but my poor tummy will not: Neck bone soup. It's neck bone meat with strange vegetables in a spicy broth that for some reason tastes delicious, but never fails to make me spend most of the following morning in the loo. What I will DEFINITELY miss is eating all of this with good friends. Here, Will,
Steph, Ali, and I are eating neck bone soup at the famous joint in Haengsin,
right around the corner from where all three of them live.
