Also, this may be my one chance to bump into Kim Hyun Joong. At least a poster of him. :) I'm laughing out loud because since starting to watch K Dramas 3 months ago I compulsively tell almost every Korean I meet that I love KDramas. I also have a desire to eat ramen from a lid!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846709423440845137.post-40955930539259311432013-06-21T18:44:19.872-06:002013-06-21T18:44:19.872-06:00Nice!

One Korean supermarket has a Face Shop in it and the first thing I did when I saw the life-sized cardboard cut-out of Kim Hyun Joong in front was to snap a picture with him. The shop assistant took the picture for me and thanks to my interest in kdramas and trying to rock some 'thank you's" in Korean, I got a 10% discount on a powder I bought there! Lol, kdrama does come in handy! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150494820667968284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846709423440845137.post-18024839229636441112013-06-13T21:56:17.493-06:002013-06-13T21:56:17.493-06:00Thanks!

The slang words are hilarious with examples of how they can be used in English phrases(like Nah Bul Nah Bul meaning BLAH BLAH BLAH). The favorite korean ramen listing is descriptive and made my mouth water. Hope this info makes your life closer to a Kdrama ;) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846709423440845137.post-74664185655417120822013-05-11T22:31:07.265-06:002013-05-11T22:31:07.265-06:00Thanks!

I suppose that eventually using chopsticks becomes like riding a bicycle and you never really forget how. I just need to practice until I get to that point!

Eight years ago...Don't give up with chopsticks! Eight years ago I'd never held a pair in my hands... then I married a Chinese/Korean (American) guy. We went to China and I made myself use them for 3 meals a day for 2 weeks. I wasn't a pro by the end, but I was A LOT better and didn't feel embarrassed anymore in front of my in-laws. I'm definitely a pro now, which sounds dumb, but it definitely makes a white girl feel cool! Buy a wooden set of chopsticks to use at home and make yourself use them all the time, especially for eating easy things like sticky rice and ramen. My 15 month old is already learning to use chopsticks with these little kid training chopsticks. They are SO cute, you could totally buy them at any asian market. If your fingers are small you could totally use them too!modern girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02000595192898208439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846709423440845137.post-20241249845276126582013-05-10T16:38:58.790-06:002013-05-10T16:38:58.790-06:00I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Oh, well better if they didn't-would spend a fortune! For another Ktown experience, I recommend Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown show where he goes to Ktown in Los Angeles. He was taken around by Facebook artist, David Choe. The first food place they visit is Sizzler! Too funny ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
