had kimchi and other side dishes. Pickled radish, some other type of radish and green onions. I just had kimchi though. I knew this before, but kimchi is the healthiest food on earth. It has 80% of your daily Vitamin C and carotene and also is high in fiber while being low in calories. The kimchi I had tonight was spicier than the last time I had it, but I am proud to say that I love it. Plus, it can slow cancer growth. You can't say that about America's favorite side dish (I don't know what that would be, but still...). Anyway, my dinner was a whopping 3,500W ($3.50) and the total for the three of us came to 10,000W ($10). I am quickly learning that eating out is far cheaper than making food at home. I am glad to be branching out in the food department and the more I eat out, the more confident I am about going places on my own and trying my Korean skills.

Dinner
Tonight after work Lindsay and Jesse (two of my co-workers, the engaged couple), invited me to dinner with them. We went to a place I go to for kimbap two or three times a week. However, I didn't have kimbap this time. I decided to try mandu kuk. Mandu is a Korean dumpling and kuk means soup. The soup was loaded with mandu, six I think. It was fantastic. The mandu had pork and some other stuff in it and the soup was very light and also had egg in it. It was delicious. I didn't bring my camera, but I found this picture on the internet. Of course we also

Congrats! While in the navy, I tried balut. I did not like it, but I was glad I tried it.
I think i want some mandu kuk now. And I think America's favorite dish would be french fries. I mean they come with almost any meal. Or we could just broaden that to potatoes in general. Mashed potatoes in the evening, fried potatoes with breakfast, and french fries any other time. Too bad french fries don't have viatamin C and cancer fighting qualities. :/
k-i thought potatoes too (well, fries), but there is a surprising amount of potato-age in korea. they put potatoes on pizza, and it looks pretty good! however, they don't eat them (i'm assuming here) in as massive of quantities as americans.
