Mmm Mmm Good

I dreamt of Chipotle last night. Yes, it's THAT bad. Chipotle, Skyline, Subway, even Dr. Pepper. They don't have Dr. Pepper here. Not even the fake kind.

What DO they have? Fish. Octopus. Rice paste. Octopus TENTACLES. Kimchi. God help me, the kimchi. They eat it with EVERYTHING. I went out to the the other day, and was served a side of kimchi with my pasta. PASTA! I will never again take for granted the fact that when we go out to eat and say "where?" none of us can decide. NEVER! :) I thought I'd be fine cause hey, at least they eat fish here. WRONG! The fish they do eat has been sitting outside in the humidity all day with it's eyes bulging out of it's head. They don't season fish here, they just flop it onto your table, head, guts, and all. It makes me think of Nemo, and then I have no appetite. The grocery stores here are filled with aisle after aisle of fried seaweed, dried squid, and stuff I can't even begin to guess.

My one experience with Korean cuisine here did come at a bar, when the waitress brought us a tray of chips and dip. At least that is what I thought it was. Turned out it was dried octopus chips. It made me want to.... well it made me seriously question why I would put strange food in my mouth in a foreign Asian country. Dried octopus. Where did it end up? In the bottom of the toilet, where I spit it as soon as I could politely leave my seat.

I am CRAVING some Skyline right now though, and Chipotle. In a serious and sad way. I'm going to Seoul in 3 weeks, they have a Subway there. I'm going to eat the whole building down. Haha.

Maybe they'll give me kimchi with my meatball sub. And a Dr. Pepper. Or even a Diet Dr. Pepper. Why Diet you ask? Because... it tastes just like regular Dr. Pepper.

Cheers!
