Last week a few funny/weird things happened here. I've become used to things like this over the last 5 months but these have stuck out a bit!
Last Saturday I went to McDonald's for the first time since I've been in Korea. While looking at the menu and deciding what to have I saw a few things you can only get in South Korea. The first was a shrimp burger, but this didn't sound good to me! Then I saw the funniest thing, a 'crazy hot chicken folder' ! That's the real name from the menu - it was basically a chicken breast in a taco/pita bread. This sounded tempting (!?) but instead I had the always safe McChicken and fries and it tasted exactly the same as in Canada! One of our friends had the crazy hot chicken folder and he said it wasn't even that hot and it fell out of the folder! That crazy chicken...
Then at school on Wednesday some of the teachers were frying up some new potatoes that had just been brought back from the farm. When they were ready they brought some out and called over Alysa, Manda and I to have some. We dug in because we were starving, like usual in the middle of the afternoon! But after one bite we realized that the fried potatoes were covered in white sugar! We thought it was salt, but no.... and FYI this is not a good combination!
And on Friday Manda and I stopped for a coffee at a new place that has opened near our school and were sitting there enjoying our drinks when all of the sudden Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas is You' came on. I was like 'wow, I love this Christmas carol, but it's so not the season!' I think we were the only ones who realized it was a Christmas carol - too funny...
Anyway, it was a funny week.... more to come soon on my visit to the DMZ and other goings on.

HI Carrie,
Well new potoaoes are wonderful, I had some last night with a cream dill sauce. They were divine......
covered in white sugar.....I can only imagine the shock, I'm thinking not so divine. Food tastes
likes and dislikes for different
ethnicities, vary from country to country I imagine. For me it was learning that southern US people like salt on watermelon. Who'd have thought that up? Well, I guess this keeps life interesting and unique. It would be so boring if we were all alike.
