Destination: South Korea and Japan. The fun begins in T minus 5 hours.

After our separate adventures in Vietnam and Russia last year, Amanda and I are joining forces again this year. Instead of just meeting her in Seoul, I invited her to come up to Seattle a couple days early. That meant a cheaper trans-Pacific flight for her, pleasant packing company for me, and a great excuse for both of us to start eating good food before we even got to Asia.

| We celebrated the start of our trip with dinner at Tilikum Place Cafe. I started with a shrimp salad with avocado puree, spring vegetables and endives. |

We go first to South Korea, where we'll spend a few days exploring Seoul and deciding whether or not we like kimchee (I have my doubts). Then it's off to Japan for ten days of food, nature, culture and public bathing (possibly with bears). It's going to be an adventure!

Have a blast! I'm so jealous, will be following your trip online
So once when I was working at the MTC mailroom, some mother sent her kid a bottle of kim-chee. It broke. It was summer. The mailroom was never the same. Doubts, indeed.
Have a fun trip! Look forward to all of your pictures.
...memories of the Korean neighbors in Iowa breaking out their kim-chee...and how we could smell it not only in our house with the doors and windows closed, but through the entire neighborhood...I look forward to your report. Can't wait to hear how it all goes! Lady
