This day is also quite predictably a couple day much like Christmas in Korea. But for those of you who get shucked on March 14th, hold your innermost emo-ness for 30 more days to celebrate how miserable you really are that you’re not alone on Black day with other dateless bums single friends.

(Fresh basil on it - yeah!) We fell out of that habit a while back - what a shame. Maybe every Friday should be 피 자 데 이 :wink: But...how will I get the pizza to reach you all? :sad: My family used to make and eat delicious homemade pizza every Friday night.

And somehow, I've never tried making 짜장면 in my own house other than just making the instant 짜장면 noodles - but they are different. 짜장면 is so difficult to make! hehe. Shan, oh, really? 짜장면 먹기 대회(eating competition) sounds very tough ... it's a lot! hehe. And yes, I agree that there's too much competition going on even for the little kids ... T.T 아이들은 놀아야 되는데.... kids should just have fun... :( Jeff,

There are even some who bring their children to attend our schools here, because they want their kids to be trilingual (english+chinese+korean)!! I think it's tough on the poor kids, but then again, Korean students are probably used to mugging and competing with millions back in their own country, so maybe they don't find it tough here??? You won't believe it, 오늘, 우리신문 actually had a small article on Black Day!! There was a picture of a man eating 자장면 in a competition hahaha!!

The only places I could find that serve 짜장면 in the area require a car to get to, so I celebrated (mourned?) being single in my own way :lol:.

It was weird... haha! :mrgreen: 싱가포르에 한국 사람들 많아요? 가본적이 없는데, 진짜 멋있다고 들었어요 ^^ (I haven’t been there, but I heard it’s really cool!)

Korean restaurants are not so common. However, recently a lot of Korean food stalls have sprung up in foodcourts in our shopping malls, though I doubt they serve authentic Korean food. Just the other day, I ordered 육개장 from one of these stalls... I haven't tasted the real thing so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it certainly wouldn't be like what I ate! It tasted like chilli water - spicy but tasteless! :sad: 현우 씨,
