While living in Korea has its ups and downs, I think for the most part there are good reasons to live here. However, nothing is really quite as good as home. For me home is America, more specifically Southern California. And boy do I miss it a lot. Korea has all of the essentials to live comfortably and quite enjoyably, but there are just some things that you miss.
Korea is growing to be a more international, multicultural country with the huge surge of foreigners from all over the world. While most of these foreigners may be staying temporarily, they have made a big impact on the Korean culture.
With all that has been changed and impacted, there is still one thing that I dearly miss: the food. Living in Korea, I have not had a nice burger for the past 2 years. I know, it sounds terrible and even impossible, but it is true. Two nights ago, I went to McDonald's for the first time in a long time and had myself a nice Quarterpounder burger. Now McDonald's might not have the best burgers in the world, but I have not had a burger in the past 2 years. So anything is amazing at this point. And boy, it was damn amazing.
I am not going to go into details about how amazing each bite was, but it made me wonder if anyone has never tried a burger before. I think it would be crazy. Imagine the first burger that person gets to try. You never know just how great something is till you don't have access to it. While Korea is not lacking hamburgers, the absence of burgers in my life has made me realize just how amazing a burger is, which brings to the point of this entry: God bless America.
