So what do you miss the most from home?

When I was in Korea I think I missed ladies night at Bullwinkles the most.

Real beer!

Chocolate Pop-tarts and SKIM milk.

I just can't drink this milk plain from a glass. On cereal, I can deal with it, but plain -- no way!

I went home last winter vacation for two weeks and I thought I would want to do, see, eat and try various things I missed, but when I did do, see, eat and try the various things, I relized that I didn't realy miss them at all, and it was no big deal. The big deal was my memory of them, and I realize this now, that they are best this way, as a good memory.

I miss the variety of food. Korean food is great, but there's really no variety that I care for seven days a week.

Back home I could have a delicious fresh bagel with hummus and a glass of mango juice for breakfast, a Thai curry for lunch, and a salade nicoise for dinner. Even Seoul lacks that much variety in cuisine.

i had some milk at my rich relatives' house once and it was damn good. i was like "whoa, this milk doesn't suck like that other kinds" and i got weird stares.

advice about milk:
don't get the cheap stuff, and the more colorful the packaging, the better

What, you're talking about Einstien milk?

I miss drive-thru, though I found one Rotten Ronnies -haven't gone there.

I also miss quaker instant oatmeal, the ones in pouches.

and Warthog Ale

cthulu...don't know how long you've been here, but the complaining about beer quality has been severely abated by the fairly recent introduction of Hite Prime, a necessary face saver following the infamous The Hite Stout. So, while for variety of beer styles one still must homebrew or pay a premium for imports, at least there is a locally brewed quality beer...Prime.

no, something with a bunch of kids playing soccer on it.

it tasted a lot like 2%

[matko]

I miss my mommy's cooking sniff, sniff.

Here it is,

I've had Prime, and the best I can say for it is: Hite Prime relative to regular Hite is like Miller in relation to Coors. Better, but only in comparison with other Korean brews. I dunno, maybe I have to try it again.

Actually, I do have a soft spot for Red Rock, but other than that I've really not enjoyed Korean beer much at all. Maybe I'm just too damn picky...
