Day 1: I hate kimchi

I live in Korea right now and enjoy all of the food except kimchi. It looks funky and smells the same way. Putting it in someones locker in America would be a new ultimate prank. Since the entire country eats this stuff at every meal, I figure I need to warm up to it. What better way to open my mind, mouth, and stomach then a blogrimage! For the next 30 days I have decided to live on a kimchi and rice diet for every meal. I will make sure to take photos and post interesting facts about kimchi and its health benefits. There are hundreds of varieties of kimchi available so I will make sure to mix it up. The main kimchi dish that I am confronted with every day at school is cabbage. I enjoyed my first bowl this morning, but it seems like the other foreign teachers did not feel the same way. The office smells pretty fermented (yes this is a smell). The smell almost made me not eat it, but I was able to put away 10 pieces of cabbage before returning the bowl to the cafeteria. I will have to slowly work up to eating an entire bowl of this stuff before the blogrimage is over.



After consulting many friends before taking on this project I have decided that kimchi and rice alone would not be wise. So the rough schedule will look something like this:
Week 1- kimchi and rice
Week-2 kimchi, rice, and a hard boiled egg
Week 3- kimchi, rice, and a hard boiled egg
Week 4- kimchi and rice

It starts with kimchi and it will end with kimchi!
