My last couple of weeks in Korea Land were so stressful (and possibly drunk) that I more or less forgot that this section of the internet existed. A few days in Canada Land, the boredom set in, and I remembered blogspot! I'll be returning to Korea Land in 5-6 weeks. In hindsight, this was probably too long of a gap. Hanging with folks from home? Awesome. Temporary work placements? Snow? Understanding just how stupid the people surrdounding you in line at the supermarket are? Something significantly less than awesome. More tragically, even the food in Canada has been less awesome than anticipated.
As I had promised myself, within a day of landing I had sucked back a couple bowls of Tim Horton's chicken noodle soup, devoured an Arby's roastbeef sandwich, and struggled to finish a chicken caesar pita with extra meat. Aside from the chicken noodle soup, everything seems to have lost it's luster. Everything is... bland. Blah. This is grossly dissapointing.
That's really all I've got for now. Food is pretty much the second most awesome thing ever, so when it's not as good as expected, great dissapointment and bitchiness ensues.
I need a nap.

I went back China about 3 weeks ago and spent 2 weeks at home.
Chinese food tastes still delicious as it was, but it has been too greasy since my stomach got used to the light Korean food...
Also I totally understand how one would over expecte things. It was like meeting one's ex-bf back home, 99% you would get disappointed.

We go back to Canada for a wedding in June; my "food porn" fantasies are many. I hope that I do not have the same disappointment you experienced... :( Current cravings? Garlic bread that doesn't have sugar on it (wtf is that?!), my mom's meatballs, and McD Filet-'o-Fish...mmmm. Your mention of T Ho chicken soup caused some salivation, though...I was pretty sick of T Ho fare when we left, but...that is some darn good soup (or so I recall?)
