Kimchi and Chicken



What we've eaten since landing :
-delicious kimchi dumplings
-bulgogi and kimchi jigae
-seafood risotto
-bacon and spaghetti
-a whole chicken in soup
-more kimchi jigae
-tuna salad
-cold and spicy noodles
-more delicious dumplings the size of a fist
-street food: seafood pancake and pineapple on a stick
-a crepe ball

Since we've gotten here we have spent most of our time deciding what we want to eat, where we want to eat and when we want to eat.

The excess in eating is countered by us sweating in the subway, on the street, in palaces, while we eat, while we sleep, and especially when we drag our luggage around the city of seoul trying to find the airport limousine shuttle. The humidity here is so extreme that Koreans put air conditioning in porta-potties.

Our extreme change in environments in both culture and weather is kind of like a super strong concentration, luckily we have found a diluter....Gossip Girl! Yes, it the perfect nightcap for our adventures and excursions. We retire to our hotel room, sip sochu, and watch another mind numbing episode of the wealthy upper eastsiders. Does V like it more than me? That's a secret I'll never tell.
