Assuming you don't have a decent supper break to speak of, what do you eat in the evenings? Do you bring food from home and eat bits between classes? Do you run to the store and get triangle kimbap?
Or does your school give you food? |

Korean high school cafeteria slop twice a day for me. Could eat breakfast there too, if I wanted. |

I only like Korean meat dishes, so I avoid the school cafeteria like the plague. So far, I have a perfect record of not eating there. I bring a thermos of hot soup and a sandwich or salad for lunch. |

LG Philips LCD lunch every day is great for the price - FREE!
And I could have breakfast there too if I wanted, but no thanks. I like Korean food, but noodles and rice for breakfast is just too foreign.
I used to think LG lunch wasn't so great, until I worked at a public elementary school - that was the grossest food I have ever ingested anywhere under any circumstances. I'm sure Oliver Twist ate better food. |

Lunch at school when it is edible, for 2,600 won, taken out of my salary at the end of the month. They have a computer card swipe system for when you eat.
If not edible, then biscuits from the school shop to tide me over until I can get to the sandwich shop down the road. |

I wouldn't say I look forward to lunch at my high school, but the meals are normally pretty decent. I have only had two inedible lunches since I started here three weeks ago. |

I don't know if my situation is the norm or the exception but our school feeds us each day, whatever we want to order within reason, it's great causeit means I dont have to cook!!.or clean up after myself either!! |

I wouldn't eat the cafeteria food if they paid me ( for the food in addition to the work)
I bring salads or a sandwich most days. |

I grab a toast snack from the local Isaacs, or a goggi from the corner. Sometimes we have snacks laid on in the teachers' office, but nothing you can rely on. I never bring my own food - unless I bring snacks [cookies or cola and icecream] for everyone to share. My flatmate brings his own sammies to work. |

School cafeteria food twice a day, 3 if I wanted it, and not much of a choice to do otherwise. No cooking facilities and nowhere near here to buy food anyway. Man I love living in the country! |

I eat lunch with the Principal and Vice Prinicipal at my school. It's the same lunch as all the students eat, but it's usually quite decent. However, if I were still a vegetarian I'd be in trouble. |

I had lunch and a morning snack at my hagwon. It was awesome, the cook really watched out for the other waygook and I. She was always giving us extra nutritious things like juice, eggs, fruit, etc. I made lunch there the biggest meal of the day and I think it saved me a lot of money. |

Gosh I know the feeling - especially when one is as lazy about a cooking as I am. I'm even thinking of going to three times a day, since I live basically right behind the school cafeteria.
It's surprising, too, how I often get much more conversational English done with my students at the cafeteria than the classroom. |
