Joe_Doufu sounds like chou doufu -- Mandarin Chinese for "stinky tofu", which is a lovely snack food I learned to enjoy when I lived in Taiwan, the first place I ever lived overseas. So you see, I've had a Chinese avatar name all along! I reserved the same name on the Dave's international forums... but I don't think I'll use them much, their China forums are not very active and other websites are better. |
HOW CAN YOU EAT THAT STUFF??? I tried everything that was put infront of me while in China, and some really gross things too. The only thing I would not touch is that stuff (though everyone says it tastes good, you just have to shut off your olfactory senses for a couple of minutes.) And using it as a basis for your forum name...  |

It doesn't actually stink, man. Just the place where they make it stinks. I heard it has something to do with horse urine but I never really inquired. Take it over to a table or something and it doesn't taste bad at all. |

Things seem to be wrapping up well for everybody.
I got a million won yesterday as an advance. Pay is due today, but I wanted it early so I could go to the bank, and they haven't calculated how much I have to pay for my absences this month and the remaining utilities. I expect they'll calculate and pay me the remainder today, but this is already more than I had counted on getting. They've agreed to let me stay in the apartment over the weekend.
My co-worker who was owed three months back pay got paid in full. I never thought she'd get her money.
And the hagwon was interviewing a nice Korean-American guy yesterday to fill in as my replacement. He's good with the kids, and they don't have to buy him a plane ticket, so I think the hagwon has found somebody they can afford who will keep their business going. |

Lemonade you can always order from online shops....Durkee red hot sauce can be ordered....also check out Hannam...they have some hot sauces that look like they might make a decent wing sauce  |
Grotto, thanks for the tip. I went to Seoul this weekend and bought "Frank's Red Hot" sauce at Hannam Supermarket. Nice store! Found my Flamin HOT Cheetos there too. MMM Now, if only I could find Wishbone blue cheese dressing/sauce to go with my hot wings that I'm about to make. |
