I think this might be like a lot of things during my year in South Korea. Everything from speaking to teaching to eating will take practice. Thankfully, that's something I can do. Of course, having just arrived in the country yesterday most of what I practice lately is staying awake and not getting lost in Jungwon University (our home for the next 6 weeks).
At least getting lost isn't so bad when the campus is gorgeous and, honestly, just plain huge. Usually I'm not impressed with simple size, but Jungwon feels legitimately monolithic.
Josie! Tune into that spot that aged foods like fine cheese and pickles hit. I think of kimchi as the same kind of taste as Ethiopian ingera with the spices they use on their dishes. sour + spicy + savory. you can do it! I thought about going to a korean restaurant with you before you left but :(.
ReplyDeleteps the university looks so... grand and ancient!
Thanks Shoua! I'm definitely warming up to the spicy sour/sweet combo ;) We'll have to get Korean food when I come back!
