|
| I may be doing somthing foolish, but I decided to pretty much avoid Korean food; I was never a fan of spicy food. Is it a mistake? Perhaps. But it's my mistake to make. What's everyone elses opinion on the food here? |

A very, very large part of the enjoyment of living here is in the eating and drinking culture.
To be blunt: you're missing out. |

Harsh words. That's like saying that a Korean Student in Canada or America should only eat Western foods. |

Oh, in my apartment I never cook Korean food.
But I have eaten out 4-5 nights a week for years here, dropped to 1-3 in the last year simply by the distance I find myself from a good selection of Korean restaurants.
There are DOZENS of kinds of Korean restaurants. It'll take you a year at least of eating out regularly to exhaust the intitial experience of discovery. And there are PLENTY of Korean dishes without hot pepper spice. |

| Cooking your own Korean food is a little harder ... I find whatever I try to make never ends up tasting the same as when made by someone who knows what they're doing. |

| Korean food is cheap and tasty. Why bother cooking unless you're craving some Western food you can't get at a restaurant? |

My Korean gf has expressed to me several times that I like Korean food more than she does. I still cook tons of western food at home though.  |
