America runs on Dunkin.
...or so they say.


Korea runs on kimchi.
...and it's a fact.


Obnoxious inflation on cabbage prices in the market has brought a cascade of some fantastical phenomena.

one cabbage costs 15000 won (~$13), dollar value → some restaurants started posting up signs that says, "Pay extra 2000 won (~$1.5) if you want an extra [miniscule] side dish of kimchi :D" → Neologism "금치" arises from gold-chi → Korea Univ. Hospital started serving alternatives, such as 깍두기 (raddish kimchi), and it's been cabbage-free for 2 straight weeks → newspaper says a lady got caught while stealing 10 cabbages. Asked why and she confesses, "I wanted to eat kimchi (김치 먹고 싶어서)" → Pres. Rhee attempts to confort poor Korean souls by stating that soon, massive amount of cabbages will be imported from China →

The highlight of my Monday became the moment when I found a container full of frozen 김치찌개(kimchi containing stew) that probably has been sitting in my fridge since July ♬

For those of you who don't know, there's a song--it's a pretty serious song--that was written by someone who obviously had deep insight about Korean energy source: "김치 없인 못살아 정말 못살아! (I can't live without kimchi, I really can't!)"

What a disaster..쩝..

요즘 한국에서 유행은 고기 안에 상추를 쌈해먹는 것이랍니다~ :)
