I decided to do some cooking yesterday. Since this is the Korean Lunar New Years Holiday, I cooked the traditional New Year's soup Ddok Mandu Guk. This is my second time to cook this dish, and it worked out well. You will notice some kimchi in the photo, which I bought at the store. I was surprised that I can tell this is not so good kimchi. I much prefer the kimchi that SY's mother makes. Her...

This weekend is the Korean holiday of Lunar New Year. Tonight CH and HS came by to deliver some food for me. Since I had already eaten dinner, I had it instead for breakfast, although last night we ate some of the fruit they brought. I don't know what half of the foods are, but they were all good. What you see in the photo is AFTER I ate breakfast, so I'm going to get at least two meals from it,...

I have been having two mild health issues lately. My throat and sinuses have been real dry, which is not too surprising I guess in winter time. And I have a back ache in one certain part of my back. So yesterday I braved the holiday crowds at the Carrefour and got myself a humdifier and a heating pad.

Recently, I encountered a new Korea word "woosoo" (우수). I asked my friend CH what this word meant. He told me it was an old word, used mostly in traditional fine literature.

Anyway, we both got a big kick...

Several months back, a new sandwich shop opened in our building. It is the "Believe" sandwich shop, where we are told to "Talk, Relax, Drink and Eat". I have examined the menu many times when walking by, and have been tempted by tasty sandwiches. They are named as follows (I've left off the word SANDWICH to ease my typing): Blessing Ham, Praise Chicken, Goodness Pastrami, Prayer Smoked Salmon,...

Well, I've been waiting for some inspiration to make a post since I arrived in Korea. I have done a few interesting things, but no good photos. Finally, when shopping yesterday afternoon, I discovered the perfect item for my inspiration. I should explain that this weekend is the Lunar New Year, which is celebrated over a 4 day or so period here in Korea. On this occassion, people buy gifts for...

Well, I arrived Wednesday night here in Las Vegas for a trade show. I had some mixup with my airplane tickets, but it worked out okay because they sent me on a flight which arrived a little earlier. My Korean friend CH had his flight delayed, so he waited for me at the airport and I gave him a ride to his hotel. I woke up Thursday morning, and got out my computer to check email, only to discover...
