Every blog about Korea, every website, every tourist book you ever read, hear, or search will have an entry on Kimchi. So get ready for my contribution.
Kimchi 김지 - fermented...holy fermented batman... cabbage. It's usually pretty spicy or pungent or just disgusting. However, I have had some flavors of kimchi that are pretty delicious. Of course I couldn't tell you what kind it is (they all have names) or where I had it. There are also different kimchi for each season. Winter kimchi is the most fermented due to preservation. Spring is on its way and I've been seeing more and more of the green leafy kimchi. We'll see how spring, summer and fall kimchi compare withe winter.
Ode to Teaching Children
The semester is finally starting after a month+ break. I'm teaching 3-6th grades with three different teachers. It's confusing to say the least, but hopefully everything will settle down soon. Days like today are days I wonder "why in the world would anyone voluntarily get a degree and then dedicate their lives to teach this age group???" Today alone I had a crier in every class, boys beating each other up, and a boy who sprayed water in my face! All before lunch!!!!
I'm not much in a blogging mood so expect longer and more frequent posts in the future, but forgive me this entry.....
Breathe Deep, Seek Peace.
