Alright... since arriving at my place i've been looking for a supermarket to conveniently buy everything... and after bitching about it to dad while i was in this particular smoke hole last and whaddya know? i walk downstairs.. turn left instead of right by accident.. and VOILA!!! asian supermarket :P
so of course i loaded up while i was there.... so got a pile of stuff... and two bottles of beer ;) long necks too.. just to keep me company ;) and so i went home ...
now here's something that i never thought i'd do this but i went home.... looked inside the fridge where i was supposed to store my food and just went "....... nope.... no way" so i left the food out... got some suds going and then proceeded to clean out the fridge.....
then because these things get out of hand... i started looking around to clean other stuff.. i looked in the lil storage shit hole and found a mop! so that went into a bucket of bleech while i cleaned all the crockery in the cupboard... then mopped the right end of the T while cleaned the lino underneath the crockery... cleaned out another part of the cupboard to store food, then mopped the left side of the T.... oh yeah also mopped the interior of the bathroom for good measure.
so there was plenty of cleaning happening
oh.. out of that shopping trip i should mentio nthat i found.... SPAM!!!!
and no i haven't suddenly worked out how to read korean fluently .... it's because of it's ubiquitous packaging... that the lord for packaged processed meat and its easily identifiable packaging.
so for breakfast (tho it was closer to like.. afternoon tea by the time i ate it) i had some cold noodles.. which came out of a packet....which went down well with my new metal chopsticks...
what DIDN"T go down well with my metal chopsticks was my dinner which was another packet of instant noodles....with fried spam and friend egg.... holy shit.... they got hot in a hurry.... that's one thing i've decided that i hate here.... the frigging chopsticks..... what the hell is the point of metal chopsticks? isn't the reason why chinese made them out of bamboo because (apart from being easier and cheaper) it wouldn't hold heat and BURN THE CRAP OUT OF YOUR LIPS when you used them?!?!
you can't even really cook with them. so i'ved decide that they must've decided to make metal chopsticks SOLEY for the purpose of moving cold foodstuffs about in small quantities which i personally find.... stupid.... and more criminal.. useless.
so darling... chopsticks... REAL chopsticks are on the "to bring" list for me thanks :)
speaking of things i miss..... i realised as i was lying on my bed trying to write in korean while watching SatC at the same time... is that i don't have a table..... i do everything on my bed... i've got a dining table outside next to my kitchen.... tho to be honest if it was any more IN my kitchen it'd be ON my stove... but naturally why the hell would i sit there?... unfortunately it's also too big for my room.... and i've got a stool and a low folding table to hold stuff up but.... damn i miss my big desk and my chair... *sigh*
So anyway... here i am sitting in PC Smoke Hole listening to some guy slurping up a cup noodle sipping on a "welch's white grape soda" and typing away.
tomorrow i begin teaching at Camp Korea, small group of 6-14 yo's, we'll see how things go there also need to hace face off number 2 with the gmy lady as well as get my phone and see about getting internet connected to my apartment. as well as need to look for some rice.. and some other cooking needs that i have....
