i miss a lot.

i miss a lot things. i don't dwell on the past if i can help it, because really life is about what's here and what's now. sometimes too much so. an article in the times today reminds me of a whole bundle of things i miss, that i fit neatly into a box called when i was in korea. i had a great and miserable time there, that i wouldn't trade for anything.

the street food was delicious, cheap, and at times kind of unbelievable. available whenever i wanted it, and often the finishing touch on a fun night out. the corn-dogs-covered-in-some-kinda-something were one of the really foreign yet not traditionally korean options. when you ordered one, the proprietor would give it an extra dip in the boiling oil...to freshen it up i'd guess, even though they already were plenty fried.

delicious?

i love squid. except for that funky dried stuff that i refer to as squid jerky. if certain mammalian meats are gamey--then squid jerky is the gamey-est thing in the sea. yuck.
