It is the last day of June, I've been in Korea for a month now, and I've been fighting a nasty cold since last weekend. In fact, this is the third time I've been sick since I've been here. The air in Korea is both dry and humid, and it's the dryness that's causing all the trouble. I feel a little bit better today, but it has made teaching especially hard this week. I wish I had something exciting to report, some trip taken to another part of the country that got me inspired or something like that. Oh wait! I ate dinner at Dijon, a French restaurant in Jungangno (downtown Daegu) on Wednesday night. I shared the evening with Charles, a friend I met during my first week in Korea. He has a passion for travel and will take off to anywhere in the world at a moment's notice, which I found inspiring. It was great to meet someone like myself, someone who wants to live a life of adventure exploring this amzing planet of ours. The prices for entrees at Dijon range from W9,000-W35,000 (that's $9-35), which I find pretty reasonable for French cuisine. I wasn't in the mood for anything fancy so I chose the spaghetti bolognese. At just $9.00, the dish satisfied me with its rich, meaty sauce, which crackled with the kick of fresh ground pepper. I also indulged in the crab bisque ($5.00). It's soothing salmon color and creamy, delicate taste were both soothing and delicious, though I didn't care for the shrimp which accompanied the crab. There was no room left for dessert so Charles and I left Dijon to burn off our calories with a lovely walk through downtown Daegu at night.
