hello blogworld! i went around for a walk around the neighborhood today, around 3 hours or so, and i DID NOT get lost :) i drew a little map as i walked, i was so proud to have found my way back to the hotel! the tv here has a dvd player, so i was able to do my step workout last night. my eating has been hard, b/c everything is in korean (of which i dont read or speak a word of) and im not always sure what is a restaurant or not. i went into one place today to try to eat, and the guy just said "no." i was so embarrassed! im sure that it was a restaurant, but im not sure if the "no" was b/c im a foreigner, black, or couldnt speak korean. after that, i was too embarrassed to try anywhere else! *blush* i went into a convenience store and bought ramen. was yummy, tho. hopefully i wont live on that for the week, but it was all i could muster myself to do today. i cant figure out the calories of anything im eating b/c i cant read the labeling, but still im writing everything down to keep me conscious. once i get a place of my own, first on my agenda is figuring out how to grocery shop, and buy a scale.Sunday, February 11, 2007

Wow, how exciting to be in Korea! I hope you find a place to eat soon though, one can't live on ramen alone (though it would be a better world if we could!). Hope youre having a great time!
I totally hear you... convenience store ramen was my first meal in Japan too. I tried out my super rusty Japanese... I asked the guy for new water (atarashii) instead of hot water (atsui) to go with it. Oops. :)
Glad you made it. I'm starting to get the feeling i'm the only guy who reads this site. Oh well. It's great lunch time reading.
Hey! Those ramen thing are a calorie bomb! Its like 300-400 calories each if not more for a small one. That and all the salt it contains. Good luck in getting real food there
