That's all I wanted to say. Especially the Seoul Milk that I got at the grocery. Everything's delicious!

Do I really have to go home eventually?

If you like Seoul milk, you should try Busan milk, too!

I had to give up dairy, but those strawberry yogurts in the big cups were the best yogurts I've ever eaten. I'm talking about the ones made by the same company that sells peach yogurt too.

Korean food is great, but you'll burn out on it at some point. My argument has always been that as a Westerner, particularly if you've lived in big cities, you're used to having dozens of different ethnic cuisines at your fingertips. It's a rough adjustment to transition to eating just one plus whatever Western slop you can get a hold of. Thankfully, that's changing.

Just out of curiosity, how many times have you heard the questions, "you use chopsticks very well" and "you eat spicy food very well"?

If you drink it before a class, does it help you play Simon Says and sing heads shoulders knees and toes and teach Let's Go even better than before?

Your mention of Seoul Milk just brought back a memory of a rough experience I had years back. It was my first year here and I had't had any milk in a couple months so I was craving some pretty bad. It was a nice sunny spring afternoon, birds chirping, flowers starting to bloom, traces of vomit on the sidewalk from the night before.

Anyway, I bought a big carton of milk from a GS25, opened it, and chugged a good 75% of it. It totally hit the spot! 30 minutes later a buddy from another school asked if I wanted to go to Itaewon and walk around with some female co workers from his school. Sounds good, changed my clothes and 30 minutes later we were all on a bus heading towards Itaewon.

10 minutes into the ride and I felt that familiar rumbling in my stomach. We got off the bus, took the short cab ride into Itaewon and my insides were now on full tilt! I cant remember the restaurant I ran into but I sprinted in, damn near kicked the stall door off the hinges, and proceeded to explode.

Don't know if it was that I hadn't drank milk in awhile or because I was not used to Korean milk. Point being, it may taste good but for God sakes please drink Korean milk responsibly.

One would need something stronger than milk to teach that book well.
