Lose Weight Fast - The Korean Diet

Tuesday, March 16th (for us).Yesterday it "dripped" most of the day. Everyone walked around campus with umbrellas. I'm guessing the temp here is in the 40's - you'll probably be warmer this week than Daejeon - we're still on the cool side.
And now to the Lose Weight Fast program. Yesterday we ate lunch at the union. It's cafeteria stye - lots and lots of food for about three dollars. We know now that doug and I could split a meal. On our trays: 1. A cup of warm barely water, 2.a large bowl of clear soup seasoned with fish paste and full of sea weed, white stringy things, bean sprouts,mushrooms, plus misc.other, 3. kimchi (there are a thousand different kinds - this happened to be cabbage soaked in something) 4. some type of  - what we think was- soy/egg cakes with seaweed - 5. a main dish of beef and squid (Doug says "pigtails with lumps"}simmered with carrot strips, seaweed, onions, misc. things, and VERY hot red peppers. (I couldn't eat it without mixing it with rice, it was so hot), 6. a small dish of something we couln't identify at all, 7. and a huge bowl of rice. A small box of tissues is at every table to accomodate runny noses. (the consequence of eating hot peppers). In any case - nothing here has calories! Soon I will be a "wisp of a thing" - I can't wait!
Doug worked at the office, I explored, and last night we went out for pizza ($20.00.for what we would call a medium pizza) and then took a taxi to "Home Plus" - a large multi leveled department store where we shopped for groceries. We bought a small plastic basket for laundry, a paring knife, two bottles of juice, skim milk, a container of ,"I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" ( no real butter, here at least), 4 apples, 4 bananas, and 3 pears- ....$50.00! Usually we would walk to the store (a couple of miles) but because it was dark,took a taxi. You can see how well this Korean Diet will work!!!!
That's it for now. Our missing bag has arrived. We're hoping it's the right one this time.
