I write this post out of absolute necessity. I’ve already elaborated a bit on my fear of Korean food here, but these two recent discoveries require some further attention.
Number One: Pizza.
When we went to Pizza School the other night, we had two options: Barbecue Pork Ribs Pizza or Pasta Pizza.
Craving carbs, and not feeling particularly like picking bones out of our pizza’s ribs, we decided to opt for the pasta pizza. Which was, quite literally, a pile of spaghetti noodles on a pizza crust, topped with alfredo sauce and thinly sliced Spam (yes, SPAM).
Fail, Korea. You fail.
Which brings me to my next most recent discovery…
Number Two: Soup.
Can’t go wrong with a nice, hearty bowl of soup, right? Last weekend, we met some nice Korean guys who took us into a local restaurant in Gangdong. They ordered what they insisted was the best thing on the menu – the house specialty stew.
Looks great, right? Well, we thought so. And we dug right in. Dishing ourselves bowls of the boiling mystery feast.
There were massive chunks of fish (think: whole fish cut width-wise [with bones and skin] into 4 or 5 cylindrical pieces), and lots of veggies. There were also chunks of something that looked like ramien noodles (above). Actually I really did think they were just noodles, until we asked the Koreans. “No, no. Not ramien. Intestine” was the only explanation we got, along with a lower-stomach-rub to illustrate where intestines are kept in the body. We couldn’t figure out what specific KIND of intestine they were, but does it really matter? Melissa successfully fed a bite to Luke.
Nom, nom?
![So I was at the gym the other day, running on the treadmill and flipping channels to find that one English program to zone out to while getting my cardio, when I came across the most amazing thing I have ever seen in the history of things. It was a soccer game. A very, very intense soccer game, with a referee and a large crowd. […]](https://www.thevagablond.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/img_0961-36x36.jpg "Head Soccer.

![It’s a liberating thought. Tantalizing even. You’ve got a house and a mortgage and a car and maybe a kid or a dog and a job. You have a whole life somewhere. But the thought of selling everything, packing a suitcase and moving far away.. maybe it crosses your mind sometimes. To leave all you know behind. To start anew.

![So I’m in the Northern part of Argentina, with a bag holding my sunscreen, some Argentine pesos, my binoculars and a pear. And I’m on a bus to Brazil, apparently, though I don’t know if they will let me in. Theoretically, this bus will take me to the Brazilian side of the Iguazu falls. Theoretically.

![Buenos Aires. Eye-rays, is what I tell my English speaking brain. Not Air-Ees, Eye-Rays. There is something about this place that I can’t put my finger on. We’ve been here a month, and still the city seems to shift, to change. It changes by the time of the day, by the day of the week, almost as the staircases in Hogwarts upend and revise direction, […]](https://www.thevagablond.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/IMG_0322-scaled.jpg "On the ground in Buenos Aires"){kind=small}
