All joking aside, don't you think Koreans would go for kimchi-flavored potato chips? Hell, Pringles would make a killing selling fried kimchi chips, I'd say.

They don't have kimchi chips yet? I can't believe it. I gotta ask the kids today. They're experts on the snack food industry. Of course they'll get really excited that I'm interested in their wonderful kimchi.

Learning the wondrous art of chewing with your mouth actually closed!

Second semester: Learning how to cover your mouth with your hand while actually speaking with your mouth full!

My business will fail miserably.

How about a restaurant specializing in anything but Korean, Japanese, Chinese, or Anglo-American food.

If you think I'm homesick for Taco Bell, you're right.

Two questions:
1. Isn't Mexico a Western country?
2. Doesn't Taco Bell count as American?

Okay, you got me.
On my earlier post, I changed "Western" to read "Anglo-American."

I've never been to Mexico, but people from Mexico tell me that it's not quite authentic.
Whatever Taco Bell is, though, I miss it.

PS I wonder if Taco Bell operates in Mexico.

Fantastic idea, seeing as they always talk about us. I only have to walk into Ms Donuts to start of a heated debate about Foreigners, and why they should/shouldn't be here in the first place. Its even funnier when in their discussion (which they believe I don't understand) they assume I am from the US.

In the former situation, I just stare at them until they realise and shut up. In the latter I butt in on the conversation and correct them that actually I am from England.

So yeah, lets give them more to talk about.

I saw kimchi-flavored chocolates at Nam Day Moon market yesterday. Somebody beat me to that brilliant idea, I guess!

Suds & Suds. A laundromat/bar. I know they have 'em back home. People can bring their laundry and also drink at the same time. Momma's boys can be taught how to do a load of laundry all by themselves. They might have to limit it to beer and not soju as the thought of over-indulging drinkers gives me an oxymoronic image of a puke-infested laundromat.

Yes, yes it does. From a NY Times artcle on April 11, 1993:

"Pepsico, which owns the Taco Bell chain, saw the fattening wallets of Mexico��s younger generation, splashed some extra hot sauce onto its tacos and headed across the border."
