Yay! It's another list!


Kimchi - I used to think it was gross, now I can't live without it.

Tofu - Seemed alien and weird before, especially in the states. Love it now.


Sitting on the floor - I sit on the floor now at home when I eat. More comfortable and relaxing.


Taking off my shoes everywhere - now I totally can't remember how I could have worn my shoes inside everywhere and why.

Hmm. Tofu also for me. I never touched it back home. Now it is the staple of my diet. Eat it 5 times a week, sometimes more. Its my favorite food.

Good list Shawner, I agree with all the ones you listed except kimchi. I don't hate it as much as I used to, but I don't think I'll ever really like it (but then I never liked pickles or sauerkraut either).

Love kimchi. I love the taste of old kimchi.

AFN is still as terrible as the day that I arrived.

No. Thinking on it, it is worse now than it has ever been.

300 won cups of coffee from vending machines.

Hanging my clothes to dry... but would still like a dryer sometimes
