Things I've Learned in Korea

There have been many things that I have learned while being in Korea!  Some, I had to learn the hard way.  Here are just a few!..

     1.  Korea is only about the size of Kentucky.
     2.  Rice is Kimchi's Best Friend!  (They go hand in hand!  You can't have one with out the other!)
     3.  Soju is the #1 Drink of Korea!  It's a rice liquor. 
     4.  Bop is Korean for rice.
     5.  A typical Korean breakfast is Kimchi & Rice.
     6.  McDonald's delivers!
