Floating somewhere over Canada... |
Lunch #1: Unidentifiable vegetarian item with boiled fruit in the black tray, surprisingly crisp iceberg lettuce salad in the box, packaged bread and cookies and melted margarine. |
Lunch #2: Mushy "chow mein" noodles, vegetables and dumplings in the black tray,potato chips and raspberry shortbread. |
The Alaskan summer is thought to be lovely, full of flowers and life. |
And toilets! I think this is a Korean thing, but there are little spools of plastic the cover the toilet seat and move with the push of a button to clean the seat.
The button on the wall is to flush, and the red button on the toilet is to change the plastic. Handy! |
After about 40 minutes on a bus to SUNY Korea...
Here we are! It's proof that all four of us made it! |
Here we are, in front of the cafeteria before dinner. |
Speaking of dinner...
Soup, rice, imitation crab meat (mostly fish), bean sprouts and kimchi. I regret to admit that kimchi may be an acquired taste. I have not acquired a taste for kimchi. |
The dinner was alright. The food was well-prepared, but I hadn't quite adjusted to the time and wasn't quite hungry. The soup was a warm broth of beef and daikon (white radish). It was quite rich to my taste, since I don't really eat meat. The rice was ordinary white rice, quite comforting to me since I grew up eating it with every dinner. The bean sprouts were nutty and lightly cooked. The red item on the left is the imitation crab meat, which was cooked in a sort of ketchup sauce. The red item on the right is the kimchi.
After a 10pm walk to the local Family Mart (a 7-11 equivalent) for toilet paper, snacks and a few other items, we returned to our rooms and promptly began remedying the 13+ hours of jet lag.
