Ever since I became an ESL teacher, I have been learning alot of Korean words and Phrases from our students. I've also had the chance to experience eating a variety of korean dishes from kimchi to Bulgogi, although it took me a while to get used to the spice. I have had a bad experience with Kimchi when I ate a mouthfull a very long time ago and I have never summoned the courage to do it again untill recently.
Most of the time I'm craving for Kimchi in every meal especially every thursday morning when we have our managers meeting at the schools dormitory where we get to eat breakfast (with Kimchi). I also find my self uttering expressions like ACHINCHA! every now and then no matter where I am. This whole Korean culture thing is very contageous.
